Re: IML: LED bulbs



Of interest in the link you give, there is a link to "identify your bulbs".
You have to select 'Chrysler', and your year, then it allows you to select between 'Chrysler' or 'Imperial' and it tells you all the bulbs in your car (including one for the radio dial). Funny thing though, it says front & rear turn signals are 1034 and the back-up as 1073. I've always seen turn/stop/tail as 1157 and back-up as 1156! (unless, of course, you have a newer car).

I think the biggest concern will be the brightness of the LEDs, they'll light quicker but not as bright. Also, you'll likely need an LED compatible flasher or Load Resistor for the turn signals to work.

I've been considering doing this to my 67 being as it has 6 tail and 6 stop light filaments all running at the same time.  Driving at night with the a/c running then stepping on the brake will cause the ammeter to go into serious discharge.

 

I've already purchased some of these for a trailer and they work great.  I bought them at http://www.superbrightleds.com/tail-brake-turn.html

Hi All....Iwas wondering if anyone on the list has tried using these new (?) LED replacement bulbs for the parking/brake/turn signal lights? Anything that may give the guy in back a quicker heads-up as to what I am going to do, is probably not a bad idea! The bulbs can always be replaced with standard bulbs if the vehicle was going toin a show or judging of some kind. I found a few places on the web that sell these replacements for the 1157 bulbs but wondered if anyone has already tried this!?

Thanks all!
