[Healeys] Bulbs

[Al Fuller]

LED stop lights are a great addition to a Healey, making it much easier for
other motorists to see and avoid you.

Do keep in mind the stock flasher needs a certain amount of resistance to
operate correctly, but LED lights have much lower draw.

You may wind up needing a solid state flasher to complete the project. They
are not expensive.
