LED lights

[DaWizard]

Since most of you know I have LED headlights, and I thought I posted that the rear were LED also, I find that some info was missing. So here it continues.

The tail lights are the regular tail and stop TeaCup tail light replacement LEDs cut down to fit the Drum tail light, so I at least kept it original to my mid'28 with the Drum buckets.

As I posted in the Kelsey Hayes thread the spare tire/wheel is kinda special. Within the club membership, some have done various attempts to make a third brake light, and seriously, some are lacking. So, what I did was go searching for a light and found at the truck parts store a 4" LED light that not only can be used as a tail light, it can be a stop light as well as a white backup light. I have done a search on the web for the specific part number but I fail to find the exact light, but this is as close as I can find. http://www.raneystruckparts.com/4-ro...e-combo-light/

So, this is what the ass of my car looks like. Now, if you have a trunk, good luck, not much is going to be as bright as this is. I have also found some smaller 1½" red clearance lights that could be cut into the small hub caps to be used as third stop lights.

I think it is all about being different and distinctive, and every member of the club that has followed behind me says "damn, that's bright", which is what I want, always better to be seen and not hit.

Wow nice job!
It looks like a train coming at you.. That is a nice light with the dual function red or white illumination

That is really good. I presume the car is converted to 12 volt.

[DaWizard]

Oh sorry, Yes the car is now 12v Neg chassis.

Berts offers an 6V LED bar style 3rd brake light to mount in the rear window. I'm adding a second tail light and will include the LED bar in my plans. After the car went thru a frame off restoration in 95, the owner did very little to finish it beyond getting it running. I have to install all the lights, horn and dash lights, including the wiring to get there.

Hey, good idea, There are also the 6v Pos chassis LEDs available through some of the vendors that fit really well in the teacup tail lights. Alas, there is nothing made to fit the drum taillight, but if you are careful, the teacup light can be made to fit with minimal modifications to the drum taillight. You will need to modify the internals of the drum to use that light. You will also need to modify the LED itself to get the outer dimension to fit into the drum.

No modifications needed to fit the drum tail light

Thanks Mitch, great find. I didn't know those were available. I do hope they are 6v.

Wow, looks brighter than my head lights.

I might add that the headlights are also LED and you can see the brilliance in the reflection of the lights on the garage door.

Looks like your garage door needs painting

I didn't know LED headlamps were available, or are they only available in 12 volt negative ground?

[DaWizard]

Sorry Tom, but for now only 12v neg chassis.

[Mitch]

Wiz what LED headllamps are you using? Can you put up a link here to them
Thanks

[DaWizard]

Sure, but I thought I already had a thread about them...

And if they are still including it in the box, you can get a 20% rebate by simply posting the lights on Facebook and sending them the link to it, which I did and they did!!
