The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Looking for LED replacement bulbs for tail and cowl lights

I ordered 2 of those in 'warm' white for the taillights. Had a pair of bright white before, but fewer SMD chips. Didn't look right to me. Warm white is supposed to mimic incandescent light. We'll see. These are 6-24 volt bulbs, may dim with 6 volt battery-only due to harness/switch resistance. 6V doesn't leave much overhead for their built-in regulators.

Also have same size 6 volt amber bulbs in the cowls for turn signals (w/ 2-bulb headlights).
