Ron,
Wait 1-2 years(If that long) and they will be over the counter lighting systems. It is
coming. Go to ebay and search LED taillights. The bulbs are available, now at a reasonable
cost, not $12 each as they were a couple of years ago. They plug into your standard 12V
light socket.
The thing with using LED's as turn indicators, you need a special "blinker can" since
LED's do not have much of a current draw to activate the signal can. They are available
too, again, check ebay.
Most of these are colored or white LED's. I have ultra bright LED's that look white
(clear) but burn Red. And depending on which resistor I use, I can change the intensity of
the emitted light. Also, when using LED's as taillights, you have to "aim" the LED as
they give off light only in an approximately 140 degree angle, not 360 degrees as a
standard light bulb (like the kind used in the rear of your car, 1154). But it will be
different for my car, taillights with out a red lens or red dots.
Before anyone starts asking a lot of questions... I was given (I bought) the LED's,
given (I bought) the resistors and an explanation as to how to assemble these for a
taillight project I want to do in my street rod. I do not have a part number for either
the LED or the resistors (I know, read the colors on the resistors) but I do not know
anything about what, how, why... and now the supplier I had has disappeared. It is like I
was given a car, I learned to drive, but do not have a clue as to rebuilding the engine.
