Re: Turn signal mounting options
Wellllll. I have switched to 1157 due to there availability. And im converted to 12v. I used smooth 1157 bulb sockets from ebay through china about $1 a piece. I gave the socket holders a slight squeeze at the end with pliers to grip the sockets with intent to solder them in later. I dont know the style number but there should be a 6v bulb that will fit in the ford socket. The old 6v and 1157 are similar with the locator pins in different spots. I'll do a search and see if I can find an amber 6v bulb.
I found them in 10 packs on ebay in standard filiment for 20$ you would have to inspect your current park lamp bulbs. but i think this would be a fit with the single low locating pin . https://www.ebay.com/itm/Ten-Pack-of...lZd-a-&vxp=mtr I like buying the 10 packs. I have 7 extra brake light bulbs under my seat. some people may see that as a waste of 7 bucks. Edit: leds are polarity specific and are most likey negative ground. so you may want to avoid them. this led from china might be a fit as well. but I would buy extras if ordering from china. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1x-1156-ba1...dYRiSk&vxp=mtr Last edited by mike657894; 12-17-2017 at 11:55 AM. |

Re: Turn signal mounting options
X2 for Turnswitch.com - best turn signal system available, and 100% solid state that functions w/o requiring a pesky flasher. Features include easy accommodation of 3rd brake light, self-cancelling, 4-way flash, rugged assembly that uses screws to firmly attach wires, built-in audible beep, and works out of the box with either 6V or 12V. I chose their toggle option and added two 6V LEDs from Amazon that I mounted on a small SS plate attached to the dash on the left side. All wiring except toggle hidden behind gas tank so installation is clean/out of sight. I quickly became used to flicking the toggle, and especially enjoy the convenience of the self-cancelling feature.

Re: Turn signal mounting options
I'm contemplating a turn signal setup using the park light sockets inside the head light buckets. The information you provided will be helpful. Thank you.

Re: Turn signal mounting options
I believe I'm on to a solution. Since I'm swapping my truck back to a "AA" style configuration and will have some vintage aftermarket goodies I just purchased an old Signal-Stat arm. after the comments I dont think it will be an issue with spark rad and can mount it a little lower on the column. Black paint and polished polished data plate should make it spiffy. Stuff it with new turn signal kit electronics LED indicator lights should be the ticket safer highway cruising.
