I believe I am running rear LEDs and front incandescents for my turn
signals too, as well as a LED for my blinker indicator in the dash (so I
can see it blinking in the sun).

They electronics all seem to play better together with a couple
incandescents in the loop, and I can track what is going on on in front of
me better then behind, so the brighter rear lights make sense.

Will just add that Randall (TR3Driver) was a whiz at this stuff, and if you
ever had an electrical problem he had a fix.

Many years ago I had a turn signal problem.with.my Ford Ranger, the Ford
Ranger forum was no help whatsoever, Randall gave me a part number for a
flasher I could get at the local car part shop, problem solved.
