Default LED Turn signals

Looking for some recommendations on the best LED turn signal/brake light system to put on my 29 Tudor. I will not be using it as a daily driver, but plan on using it frequently. I would like a complete system that works off the +Gnd 6V if possible.

Thanks to all and God Bless America!!

LogoLites is what I use. I've been very satisfied. You can Google them.

Highly recommend the following:

http://www.logolites.com/led/turn/signals/

And add the following to REALLY grab the attention of tailgaters:

http://www.jandlenterprise.com/products/products.htm

Both work great on 6V+ stock systems.

I mounted the turn signal control box behind the driver's side kick panel, so all you see is two tiny buttons sticking out of half-dime sized holes.

I am extremely pleased with the LED panel built into the original 1931 taillite drum.
Its as bright as that of a modern car, though I have supplemented it with a Third Brakelite, setup too.
I have gone ALL RED since Its easire to not try to teach the world about red and amber taillites.
I use a $40 Signal Stat 900 Directionals knockoff style switch which has worked perfectly for 10 years.

I use logolites too. The new ones are very bright. Easy install and 4 way flashers too.
They make a chirping sound when flashing. Good people.

I too use the signal stat with the LED brake lights and the original bulbs in the cowl lights, works great 6V pos ground. The high 3rd brake light by J & L Enterprises is the BEST. It really gets the attention of the texters and cell phone crowd, which seems to be most of the drivers today. Its called the BrakeLighter and is made in America 860 916 3582 to order one, it might save your life.

In my turn signal setup, I used the United Pacific red LED taillights, a Brakelighter for the third brakelight, and modified Logo lights for the front turn signals. My truck is 6 volt positive ground and the rear LEDs and third brakelight are REALLY bright. The front turn signals are also "parking lights" and are on in any of the three positions of the steering wheel light switch. The back lights are turn signals, brake lights and "parking lights" and everything is wired throught a homemade control box with two 4-pole relays. The turn signals work off a small "center off" micro-switch and a second micro-switch controls the 4-way flashers.
