I have standard incandescent bulbs in the front running/turn lamps and =
rear tail/brake/turn lamps, but I converted my reflectors to stop/turn =
lamps, first using halogens years ago, and now LEDs (1157-R24-WV: 1157 =
Red 100 degrees from superbrightleds.com). I just received the LED =
headlight kit from Little British Car Co this week, and will be =
installing them this weekend. I also have a set of Lucas reproduction =
aux lamps, one spot and one fog. I am considering an LED conversion for =
these using this bulb

though it will require some modification to the lamp to mount the bulbs, =

lead for the ground and a new spade connection for the positive.

I also converted my dash lights to LED some years ago using the LEDs =

after a couple of years. I replaced them when I rewired the car a =
couple of years ago using six E10 screw base short round 1 LED, SKU =
87965W, from LEDLight.com. I used 1 in the speedo and tach (though I =
considered drilling a second hole to use 2 in each), the fuel and safety =
gauges, and the trafficator indicator. I initially tried one in the =
generator lamp, but had trouble with that. I also have an ammeter under =
the heater control that required a fabricated setup using a couple of =
flat LEDs I got at the local electronics store.

As a winter project I would like to upgrade my 100's lighting to provide =
for optimal brightness all around and would like to get on one piece of =
paper bulb recommendations to provide maximum lighting: Headlights, =
sidelights, twin 576 driving lights and dash lights.

Lighting fixtures are stock except that I have illuminated the rear =
reflector pods to function as turn signals which have plastic conical =
lenses

In making recommendations please include relay recommendations and/or =
where wiring may need to be upgraded. Charging capacity is not a =
consideration as I have a 75 amp alternator.
