The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area The Electrical Bay Need turn signals!

Just about got rearended again so I need to put some tail and brake lights on.
I bought a seven wire column mount switch, but have nothing else. Just wondering if anyone has used a good kit that they would recomend. Any books or info on doing the job would be great also. Thankyou,
Tim

if you're wondering about how to wire up the signal unit, see here, and if you don't already have 2 rear lights any of the vendors have them, just make sure you get the dual element scokets and some dual sockets for the front lights and you're good to go

Guess I should have looked in the tech section first, huh?
Thanks for the info.

A few months ago I switched to LED tail/signal lights.

They have 45 leds built into the lens.
They are real bright and work great in day light

Most vendors carry them now.
Im considering using the led parking lenses also.
They are white with amber light

The brand is united pacific.

Good Luck

Do you think they are worth the 50$ for each one? They sure are bright on the semi trucks I've seen.

$50each is expensive. I already had housings so just had to get the L.E.D. Lens .

If you decide to go with L.E.D.’s ,shop around you may be able to find some cheaper.

The L.E.D. stop lights are bright. In my view they are worth it. I did the hand signal thing for a while and it just doesn’t cut it.

Good Luck

The ones from Classic Parts were the ones I was looking at also.
Where did you find the ones for the front?

Tuckers in Las Vegas.

Ive seen them on Ebay also Item Number ....330466625007

Check Jim Carter or American classic also. They tend to have better prices.(If they carry them)

If you do go with L.E.D. all around you will have to get a flasher rated for LED's

I had problems finding one that would work. Found the one from United Pacific works and it clicks.

Good Luck

Are the ones from Classic Parts for 6 volt systems? It doesn't say anything about voltage on their website, so I would like to think they are for 6 volts. My truck is still 6 volt, and the last time I went looking for LED tail lights (a couple of years ago), all I could find were ones for 12 volt systems only.

This company has some 6v LED bulbs, single and dual contact bases.
