LED Lights for front parking lights (on hood)

[salazar44]

I just purchased some LED lights for the rear tail/parking lights. Now I am interested in getting something to match in the front. Has anyone seen LED lights for sale that go on our hoods?

I wouldnt mind building my own if necessary. I was going to do this for the rear but I found them for cheaper than I can build them at musclerodz.com $39 for the pair (clear or red lenses). anyway... now im looking for the front!

I was wondering the same, would like the front to match if I buy the rear ones.

I also was wondering the same exact thing.

It looks like we'll have to build are own. I've never heard of anyone doing led parking lights on the 60-66s.

ok.. in that case guys. I will share with you all what I have so far. I found this website wit a pretty cool LED Calculator . I tried a simple version of what I want done. I purchased a through hole circuit board and cut out a small section just attaching a 2x5 array of LED's and resistors as per the calculator results. Attached it to my power supply and it worked perfect!

I have yet to try it out with some superbrite wide-angle LED's but Im sure the results will be the same.

I plan on cutting the board to the appropiate shape and then soldering my LED circuit accordingly. After testing is completed then I will use a non-conductive epoxy to protect it from moisture.

What do you think??
