1969 front turn signal LED bulbs? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Patch · 07-19-2018, 12:29 AM

Ordered up some new front turn signal lenses, want to switch to LED bulbs. Are there some tried and true bulbs for this application that don't hyper flash? I've looked around....but I'm having trouble getting it nailed down. Thanks in advance....Pat

Not sure on tried and true bulbs...but none should hyper flash unless you go to full leds all around..

I went full LED and do not have a hyper flash issue.

I bought just plain old SleazyBay LED's (1156's and 1157's).

If you use an electronic flasher instead of an electromechanical flasher it will never hyperflash regardless of what kind of bulbs you have. You may need to install two flashers, one for the turns and one for the emergency flashers.

When I installed LEDs on my 70 didn't have a problem with hyper flashing, just no flashing at all. Needed to install a solid state flasher to get everything to work. Yes you most likely need a second solid state flasher for your emergency flashers.
