Should I just get a set of trailer lights from the auto parts store and put 6v bulbs in them?
Can I wire them to come on when I pull the headlights switch?
How complicated is it to wire in turn signal indicators, and should I do this at the same time?
Thanks - Dickson

Would be period correct, comes in 6v, and includes wire, flasher unit, etc. First thing to check with " dim " lights is your grounds.
Make sure you have really good contact

I am using a 3 wat switch for my blinkers. I found a set of headlamps that have LED blinkers hidden in them. I thought that they were kind of cool. I am prepping to convert mine to 12V in the near future. http://www.chevsofthe40s.com/detail/33295/Headlight_7_With_Halogen_Bulb_Amber_Led_Park.htmlHope that this helps! | | | | | Joined: Oct 2012 Posts: 62 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Oct 2012 Posts: 62 |
