Default LED lights

I am trying to find some good websites for 12 volt LED's. Sieg gave me Waytek but the smallest hole for the lamp is 5/16th which is kind of big for my turn signals and high beam indicator. Any info would be appreciated.

Thumbs up

I used the 3 mm (same as 5/32) built in resistor type LED from Radio Shack. They were only a few bucks each. They have red, green and amber. They have a Red and Black leads and I wired them directly into the factory harness. I used green for the turn signals, amber for Check eng light and blue (purchased from Dse) for the high beams. If did it over again, use red for the high beam. The blue is blinding, be sure to position the HB indicator off to the side (just not in the center of your view). Hope this helps.

The one you will look for is one that looks like this- http://www.superbrightleds.com/morei...-12vdc-led/55/

Great place to try is Diode Dynamics (http://www.diodedynamics.com/store/), great selection and excellent customer service. I purchased LED flasher turn signals that switch from bright white running lights to amber turn signals as well as HIDs for my daily driver and love them.

Nothing in this life ever comes easy. Especially when putting together a custom vehicle that is unique.

This reminds me of something I see all the time whenever I go over to the machine shop. The main door to the machine shop at work has a sign on it with words to live by in this endeavor.

We do things
  • CHEAP
  • EASY
  • FAST
You only get to pick two of the three!!
