Good news on the P15 LED lights front

[martybose]

As a happy user of Technostalgia's LED taillights for my 47 Plymouth, I wrote an email to them recently to find out if they had decided about making LED variants of either the front parking lights or the center rear stoplight assemblies. I got a reply back saying that they were working on both of them, and they should be out in the Thanksgiving timeframe.

Given that I have been trying to find a nice looking center stoplight housing for 5 or 6 years without success, I can't tell you how I am looking forward to these!

Yeah, I did find some nice restored original ones, but they were WAY too expensive for this kid!

Marty, I was following Don Coatney around in Tulsa this summer, and I did notice those tail lights work as advertised. They flash 3 or 4 times rapidly when the brake is first stepped upon. Then they are nice and bright.

But he needs to get some electric turn signals......

Very cool! I got questioned by members of local law enforcement twice last summer about my P-15's "dim" taillights and am constantly told that my stop lights (in the taillights) are burnt-out. I am planning on getting a new 6v battery this spring, but these taillights are something I can add to the Christmas wish-list if for no other reason than brake lights at the corners.

I had an old 6v truck with dim bulbs - thought the problem was the 6v - but just cleaning the lenses and getting new bulbs and sockets helped a lot. If you have dim bulbs it might be extra resistance at the socket.

I've been keeping an eye on superbrightleds.com - the have an interesting product line including car bulbs (seems mostly 12v).

I need to take apart my tail lights and figure out how to make them turn+brake (easy enough if just replacing the socket is an option, won't know until I disassemble it) and I've been looking at their product line and wondering what I can get to fit inside. I'm also looking at a foot-long LED strip that I can mount as a third brake light, at the top of the trunk. I want it to be bright and last a long time.
