LED signal lights

[McCoyAZ]

I saw somewhere an aftermarket direct replacement signal light for the 60-61 hood that converts them to LED signal lights and I can't find where it was.

I am putting a 61 hood on my 64 and want to upgrade to brighter/better led signal lights.

Anybody know where they can be purchased?

I am using a '64 GMC hood on my Burb but made my own LED turn signals.

Sick5 I haven't received my new lens yet, but will add a picture later ofwhat I have so far. Was really simple to do,using a trailer light kit from the local farm store. I have about $30 in both(not counting new lenses)

Thanks for the information.....

much appreciated

Basically, I took trailer lights(an Optronics trailer kit) removed the red lens and trimmed the housing to fit inside the GMC bezel. A little Right Stuff sealer to hold in place,after trimming the back for the plug in. A side note here, you cannot do this if you are switching to a clear lens,as the LED's are also red. However we happened to like the dark orange color when used under the stock lens. By using the trailer lights, I have both park and turn signals. it's something different. And yes all I had for a test lens was the one broken one I have.

You can by an amber led bulb. That is what I did for my tail lights and they work grate.

so what is the eaiest way to convert the parking lights to led, since LMC only has them for chevy. Just buy a led bulb?
