There is a type with more bulbs than the other. I think one has 80 or so per side and the other has 120 or so. I'm not sure who carries which though.

I think jeggs is the only one with the lesser LED... but, it is also less than 100 bucks.

Looks like, according to that listing, the old versions with a ton of lights had issues. Good to know. I might have to upgrade myself...

Any news on the new updated ones, do they got all the bugs worked out yet??

project1971 · 10-13-2006, 07:49 PM

i made my own. i took the leds out of the turn signal mirrors and put them behind the lens. looks pretty good I think. I still need to run the wires back to them to work only with the turn signals.

Early Classic Enterprises has them advertized on their webpage catalogue.

I bought a pair over the counter at an AutoZone in PHX. They're built w/ 1157 bulb-type bayonet base. Set me back about $18 bucks. Still working good a month later.

There are also these: http://www.surplusled.com/ which is a sister site of www.ledtronics.com ...I've picked up a bunch. Their newer style (3157) bulbs aren't reliable, but the 1157 red replacements are working great in one of my cars.

Jim (70C10) told me about these. http://stores.ebay.com/warden-jp2002...Q3amesstQQtZkm

I bought the 1157 leds and haven't had any problems. You get a pair of these when you buy them. Only thing is that this guy takes a couple weeks to get them. They come from China. Cheap bulbs that work great.

WTB3 · 10-15-2006, 12:04 AM

You can also get them at Early Classic
