Now Randy, 
 
Where do you get a "LED calibrated flasher" and which LED did you use? And  
where did you get them?

I've install LED's in  both stop and rear turn signal sockets and they 
flash very bright and  red.  Only needed to install a LED calibrated flasher 
unit for the turn  signals to work properly.


Very pleased and  have a bit more confidence that I'm better seen from the 
rear approach.

The first one looks interesting. It  has a current drain of 7 Watts, which  
should kick the  blinker switch to work. The second is only one watt. One 
would  have to use a resistor to drain enough power to kick  the blinker.
That's why I wanted to avoid LEDs. Further, the  color of LEDs is skewed to 
 
blue and you'd not get enough  power through to light up the red plastic 
lens   (filter).

Comments?

Subject: [Tigers] rear  light bulbs


Hello,

I came upon some  brighter stop/tail  bulbs called 1157 HP on Ebay. Still  
incandescent but quite  bright.
So, I thought,  that's the stop tail, what about the 1156  flasher  lamps?  
I 
looked and looked and there doesn't seem to   be any labeled 1156  HP.

I really don't want  to use LED's or  halogen. Does anybody know of a  
plug-in upgrade  for both of  the rear bulbs that I can  get at the local  
AutoZone 
or NAPA?   Part numbers?

Thanks in advance,
