LED Conversions?

[Chet Geist]

Nate,

I have also replaced a couple of the marker lights with LEDs they look real neat. Ireplaced the lower two tail/.stop lights with round school bus style LEDs. I re-used the top hole and re-drilled the side and bottom holes . Siliconed the old holes and they are hardly noticeable. They work great and if you look at them you will notice that the old lights come on a split second later than the LEDs when brakes are applied. This is due to the delay in the old filament style bulbs. I may replace the top ones later, but for now I am real please with this upgrade.

Hi Folks,

Greetings from the road. Let's talk about lighting..

I just completed a small interior lighting project. I replaced all 18 of my 12v 20w spot lights with 12v 2w LEDs. They look pretty good. There is a drop in the brightness that I have to get use to. I can run ten bulbs for the usage of one old bulb.

I have replaced all my OEM marker lights with amber LEDs from Dupree Products.

Question to pose to the forum..

Has anyone replaced the turn signals, break lights, reverse lights and rear running lights with LEDs? Do you have anything to share from your experience? Any thoughts?

I can either replace the assembly or simply add an LED light to the current assembly. The 35FC has Cats Eye Series 650 [. There is a not a direct replacement for the assembly. There are roughly similar products available.

Here are some examples:
