You might look into a headlight relay kit first. I put one on my truck and it made a huge difference. The headlight current doesn't go through the switch, so there's a lot less voltage drop, and all the other lights are brighter, as a result. Check it out-

As for brighter brake lights, unless you have flamethrowers, people are gonna be stupid behind you, anyway. People tailgate the H*** out of me, even when I'm speeding. I guess they like the fumes?

I always told my kids nobody tailgates a 70's car, but there's no accounting for personal preference ;-)

I recommend the headlight relay as above concerning your headlights. As for all the other lights, I really like the quality of the United Pacific branded lights and run their front marker lights myself and have helped friends install them everywhere else. I went through just about every ebay/amazon LED bulb there was before finally going that way. Just make sure you get LED flashers with the ground wire or else you'll quickly find your blinkers and hazards don't work.

That's not quite true. They told you on another thread not to buy an aluminum radiator & dual fans for your 402.

Believe you have a 72. Note that problems will occur with front turn/running and side marker lights with led bulbs installed. ie- no lights or flashing. It has to do with how the side markers are grounded through the front turn bulbs. Side markers alternate flash with front turn on 71/72 trucks. Wiring changes and relays or diodes may be implemented to make led's work. Easiest solution for folks that want led is to direct ground the side front markers and eliminate the side flashing like the 69/70 trucks.
