Sorry for the delayed response by the way... had my battery die on me and in the process of setting up the 6 Volt Red Top Optima. Plan to mount it on it's side under the floorboard in a fabricated metal box well attached to the frame. My lights ought to be even better after this. :)

Thanks for the picture.

I have to say it; that looks jarringly out of place. Is there any chance that you could fit the stock lens over it? As I remember, they are quite deep.

Thats gross

I'm going to an eye out for a Jeep so equipped, on the road.

The good is that they are LEDs and with a very good amber directional lighting and white running lights. 30W for low and 40W for high beam.

Personally I hate the use of non stock appearing led lamps on older vehicles.

Re: Headlights
 

Yep

Re: Headlights
 

I agree 100%.

Re: Headlights
 

heck, I don't even like em on a jeep, much less an old Ford

All this makes me smile.

There are other LED options that would suffice to keep it looking original... instead of the Jeep solution.

https://www.ledlight.com/p15d-30-led...ed-ncnrnw.aspx lists LED bulbs suitable either for 6 V Neg and/or Pos Ground.

So many options.

I have had so many let's call them 'adventures' with vehicles that with my old eyes, I want to see and be seen. I have flipped vehicles, hit others and been hit by others. No fun but I can laugh about it now :).

Amazingly no injuries although in the one I flipped, I did have to have my head examined. Probably needed that anyhow... especially if you ask my wife.

You'll have to put an alternator on it to keep lights bright when engine isn't running fast.
