LED Lamps for Brake, Backup, Turning Signal Lights

I was asked many time if I supply also the LED's for the Brake, Backup, Turning Signal Lights, etc.

I have done some testing and here are some pictures of the bulbs.

For the Tail lights. From left to right: Tail Light/Brake, Turning Signal and Backup, Side Marker.



I have the left and right lights next to each other, the left with standard bulbs, the right one with the LED's.



This would the set for the rear end per side.



This is for the front per side. The left one is for Parking light and Turning Signal, the right one is the side marker.



For the dom light I have these Feston LED's


I plan to them available in a month or so.

Cheers
Engelbert

Just did mine. Easy, and so much brighter. Well worth it.

Engelbert,

I take it you have tested the turns in regard to needing a different turn signal flasher. Please let us know as I would like to order a full set of LED bulb replacements.

And, if you could perhaps you could post a few photos at night of the LEDs installed.

Thanks

Hello Mike,

I still need to test it with the new flasher, and also want to add the LED in the tach and make sure it all work together, so it can also be ordered as a complete kit.

Thanks
Engelbert

OK here we go.

I have now a complete set of LED's including the following:

Front: LED for turning signal/parking light, and side marker.



Rear: LED for turning light, Back up light, Tail light/Brake light, and side marker



Dash indicator: LED's and wire setup, plus the correct flasher relay, and instructions.

I will have these sets ready for sale in about 4-6 weeks for $175 per set.

I will take pre-orders for the first 10 set's for $150 shipped.

Thanks
Engelbert

This would the set for the rear end per side.
Engelbert, shouldn't the LEDs be color coordinated with the appropriate lens? My understanding is that Otherwise they will look washed out.

Johan, thanks for your input, I will post some picture later this week. I will also look into the possibility of red or yellow LED's for the turning signal, and tail and brake lights.

Thanks
Engelbert

LED Lamps for Brake, Backup, Turning Signal Lights

I took some pictures, these are all with bright white LED's.

I let the camera adjust for the light, so they maybe a bit off.

Here are the front parking / side marker light.



Rear Tail Light only



Rear Brake Light only



Rear Tail and Brake Light



Rear Flasher



Rear Backup Light, this put's out a lot of light.



The red lenses look a lot lighter in the pictures than they look in person.

As soon I get some red and yellow LED's for the tail/brake and turning lights, I will do another test, however, they way this looks with the white LED's I don't think that the red or yellow would make it look much better, but it's worth a try.


Cheers
Engelbert

To me the brake, tail light and turn signal look washed out albeit they all appear to be nice and bright. Or, are the pics overexposed? My guess is that color coordinated LEDs would be perfect.

I got some red LED's and installed them to see the difference. Amazingly there is a difference.

Here the turning signal with the white LED


Here with the Red one


So, I will have them available as follows:

Front: LED for turning signal/parking light, and side marker. These will be white.


Rear: LED for Tail light/Brake light RED, turning light RED, Back up light Bright White, and side marker RED





Cheers
Engelbert

The only other color is Yellow and Blue. I can get a sample of the yellow for the turning signal. If you are interested to test the yellow LED with your Euro lenses. I can send you one once I got it.

Cheers

I suspect that yellow will work well with amber turn signal lenses. Looking forward to the result.

I got some bulbs from etarga in Phoenix about two years ago. He didn't have exterior lights then. I am interested.

I have read extensively much of the numerous threads on LEDs, I purchased a set of the vintage instrument LEDs from EngleBert which I will install this weekend.

Now I'm exploring LEDs for the exterior lights; front turn signal/marker, rear brake, turn signal, backup and third brake.
Another member on this forum Spoke has these elaborate LED boards with mounting replacements, which he has put considerable R&D into. This seems to me overkill, maybe I'm missing something. What if any is the advantage over what Englebert is offering with just single plug in LED replacements for the bulbs. I like simplicity and elegance. Has anyone considered both and chose one over the other? And why? I do like the idea of having brighter lights both front and rear, it's not an immediate concern been driving the car for 20 years the way it is, but something I will do in the upcoming weeks/months. I'd like to make an informed decision.
Thanks in advance for your input.
John

Hi Engelbert,
Are these available now or coming soon?
I realized after posting my last message they are not yet posted on your website, and your last post contained the key word "will".
I'll patiently wait availability.
John

I was holding off on a big order, because I did some more testing with the RED for the turning signal and Tail/Brake light. Thanks to all for this input, it will help to get a great product.

They on order now and I should have them on hand by middle of June. Sorry, but I want to make sure the LED are good and they work for the red and amber lenses.

Again, Thanks for the input.

Engelbert
