I am using the original headlight system on my 37 and a bulb went out and could not find any for 12 volts only 6 volt,well the Filling Station has LED bulbs so I ordered a pair and will report back on how they do. Its getting original tail lights too also with LEDs and maybe it can be seen from the rear better and maybe I can see better out the front too.

If you're doing any restoration on the taillights, paint the inside of the reflectors white. They will reflect a lot more light than bare metal or silver.

Be sure to change out the flasher unit, it will take a electronic type with the low amp LED's.

Bulbs are in and will see how they do at night.

In the dark of the garage those lights look much brighter.
