6 volt LED tail lights
I have a stock 39 and I now see they sell 6 volt (51 bulb) LED tail lights that look stock - Any one use them?
Likes? Dislikes? I would think responses would be all positive but before I buy, I'd like to hear some feedback Thanks |

Re: 6 volt LED tail lights
Before buying you may want to review this thread where I tested LED's and compared them to halogens and Sacramento Vintage Ford's super bright incandescents (what I and many have found to be best). https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=67558

Re: 6 volt LED tail lights
I think he's talking about the lenses that have a bunch of leds built into them, rather than the bulb replacements in your thread.

Correct there are 51 lights built in the 1939 replacement tail light

Re: 6 volt LED tail lights
I, too, am interested in the answer(s) to that question for my '39.
Also, what do they mean by "rapid fire"? Thanks. Dean |

Re: 6 volt LED tail lights
koates /oldHenry thanks I spoke to a third friend who also stated painting inside white makes a huge difference. You guys saved me $80+ bucks - I will first paint white and then see if I need to go with the super bright.
dean suggest you do same. BTW - the clear running lights I added are as bright as modern day headlights - very pleased. |

Re: 6 volt LED tail lights
Good option is to install a "Brakelighter" - strip of LED lights you mount in rear window - at a good height for easy visibility - come in 6 volt.
