"You get what you pay for!" LOL!
 

Ok so I saw this eBay ad for four 6 volt positive ground LED light bulbs on e-bay (picture 1). They were only 5 bucks with free shipping so I figured, "what the heck", and ordered them.

Well they arrived from China yesterday (picture 2). :eek: LOL!!!

You at least filled a families rice bowl for a month, depending on how big the family is.................;)

Here's the listing...

I hate to say this, but the bulbs shipped are exactly as described. As is the country of origin.

There are 223 other listings for these bulbs. They are a popular size (especially for Porsche and VW)...just not for a Model A...

From the picture and description I can't think of anyplace they would fit and work in a Model A. Hopefully you have a friend with a vintage Porsche or VW. :)

I had the same with my ebay purchase : H4 LED lamps for my 30y old Audi.
They DON'T fit ! Wrong polarity (+ on the lamp is where the - of my Audi wiring is).
I'm not going to change the wiring of the car.
I lost (only) 3.60 euro for both lamps.

LOL.........I made the same purchase 2 months ago, and I'm still going round and round with the seller. I can NOT convince him that these are NOT positive ground. They are NEGATIVE ground, never mind the odd tangs to lock them in place.

Another 5 bucks wasted.

Sorry about your loss guys but what's wrong with a conventional bulb?
Would you use led's in you headlights?
Guess I'm old fashioned

I don't think it will be long before someone comes up with a conversion to do just that. We have LED tail lights already!

Re: "You get what you pay for!" LOL!
 

Some use the LED dash bulb

Re: "You get what you pay for!" LOL!
 

It's for a turn signal project, where larger regular bulbs won't fit. In fact I'd like to get an LED strip to fit between the bumper bars, but not much luck in finding 6 volt LED's, and especially positive ground, if that matters.

Re: "You get what you pay for!" LOL!
 

Some modern cars already have them and there are kits to replace them in cars that don't have them.

Re: "You get what you pay for!" LOL!
 

Maybe you could just drop the voltage to 6v. I know the 60's mopars used a resistor or something like that to lower the gas gauge voltage to 5 or 6 volts

Re: "You get what you pay for!" LOL!
 

yup, I put the kit in my 95 s10. Work pretty well. Dark country roads they work better but city potholes are harder to see for some reason. I think its more to do with my eyes adjusting. Anything reflective like road signs, parked car reflectors, animal eyes I can see way way farther away with the leds.

Thanks, there is a good possibility on the second link, which has 1156 and 1157 types in 6 volt positive ground.:)

Has anyone had any luck finding a LED for the dash light for a 30/31?

The bulb I currently have is a GE #63.

Re: "You get what you pay for!" LOL!
 

I found one, on Aliexpress.com. Let's see...found it. I ordered it because it is extremely bright and lights up practically the whole cab. It is very large and I had to remove the cover. The seller is not selling this one anymore. Here's the description:
1156 BA15S P21W 68 SMD
I see it is on Amazon too for $5 a pair.
Good luck!
