when changing my 6 volt tail lights to 6 volt LED's do I need a 6 volt LED flasher or am I ok with my stock one? Can I have LED's in the rear and no place else?? Thanks, Paul

You can have LED's in the same circuit as regular bulbs, yes. You may or may not need an LED flasher if you have regular bulbs in the same circuit. Try it first with your regular flasher, and if it doesn't work then you can get the LED flasher. It's just trial and error as it depends on your specific wiring and bulbs.

My '62 Bel Air has LED taillights but incandescent front lights, and the regular flasher works great.

My '46 has LED front and rear and needs the LED flashers for both signals and 4-ways.

The flasher I had before my LED conversion wouldn't work if the tail lights were LEDS but the parking light turned signal were filiment bulbs. Didn't bother me much because a full LED conversion was the plan from the get go.

My 57 370 has bulbs on the fenders and LED's on the rear and they both work fine with the original flasher.
