Any one know of a vendor for LEDs for a '67 'Cuda? Has anyone on here done this? Do you have any pointers or tips you could share?
Thanks, Sean

Found this elsewhere, found the comparison interesting.

you can buy led cluster bulbs that fit the original sockets. Where my lenses were darkened from age I added 2 more sockets to each fixture. It is a huge fixture and lens for only the one bulb and its bright spot is blocked out too.
The tricky part was placing the sockets so they clear the fixture supports.
More details if this is something you want to do.
I used a set of LED bulbs that had a ring of LED's around the perimeter on the side of the bulbs.
This threw light in 2 directions.... making it rather decent to see.
Plus I have an LED third brake light hanging in the rear window....
Word of advice: Make sure you wire in an electronic flasher relay or your new LED's won't be worth a damn.... They wire right into the exsisting 2 wires you have now and the only modification is adding a ground wire to the relay. That's it.
BTW: I installed a set of Amber bulbs up front and red in the back. Total investment was about $25. The electronic flashers I pulled out of some dead Maxima's at my old job. Any 3 wire flashers will work. Works for me so far....
