33 Tudor turn signals

[dean333]

I plan on installing turn signals on my 33 ahead of this years driving season using LEDs. I already have the taillight LEDs. I want to use the cowl lamps as the front turn signals, they don’t necessarily have to be a dual function as a cowl lamp. Turn signals are my main concern. Is the 3” cowl lamp one big lamp or is there a small replaceable bulb inside? If not, are LED cowl lamps available? I understand I’ll need a special flasher to handle the LEDs. Any and all help appreciated.

For you judging naysayers I’m looking at functionality, not points on the concourse.

There is a standard single filament bulb and socket in the cowl lamp.

Should be a pretty easy installation all in all for you. We did the same thing on our 32 with a little clever thought it can be a pretty hard to notice conversion sans the turn signal indicator housing and arm.

For a turn switch look at the early VW turn switch. They clamp right on the column and look like they might have come from the Ford factory.

How early on the VW switch? Some of the early ones I’ve seen require removing the steering column to replace. Thanks

Just for the judging folks; '33 cowl lamps are a bit longer than the '34s. I checked my Vintiques and they are '33s !!! Newc

1963 (if memory serves) and back

This definitely will not just clamp on to the column.

The 53-59 ones work and so do some of the VW bus units into the early 60s.

I once used a 49 Ford switch on a 48 Ford. It had a cancellation lever screwed to the back side of the steering wheel. It transferred over to the 48 no problem. It was heavy chrome and a Ford oval on the frontside.
