Replacement flasher for high current draw

Is that the old lens with the pocket in the middle like this:

If so the halogen bulb will kill that lens. Running the halogen bulb on 50 year old wires that are 3 gauges too small may destroy something else too - or start a fire. Eventually switching that load will kill the brake light switch - and you will be dark in the back

I would make a set of LED's for it if it were mine. There are no "drop in" cures for the dim lights in our early cars. None of the "LED bulbs" are any good, I have a pile of bad examples.

Here is what I did to brighten up my '65:

Making a new lens is always a possibility too.
