LED Taillights & Turn Signals
Saw a set of nice LED tail lights for my 56 Chevy Stepside w/12 volt generator. Not the bulb replacement lights, but the whole assembly(LED's in lense). I've heard that the lights will wire right in but the turn signals won't work. Now, I think you need a electronic flasher, right? Some guy at a parts store told me you need a regulator????? I'd never heard of that. Has anyone installed these?

Re: LED Taillights & Turn Signals
In most cases all you need is an electronic flasher. The old style flasher is a relay that relays on current draw to make and break. The LED's don't draw enough current to accomplish this process. The electronic unit will.
