I added directional lights on a 31 Deluxe Roadster

[old31]

For those that are thinking of adding directional lights, do it. My wife and I could not see wasting our time (or lives) thinking that hand signals were really doing any good. Forget night time driving or busy highway lane changes.

I installed Snyders "tickin through time" hidden turn signal kit. I went with this because I did not want any unsightly controls or lights hanging off of the car. No, it is not the cheapest, but for me I feel it was the best.

A right rear light was added because I only had a left light. I changed both lights to LED's. Wow they are bright and intense. So, the parking, braking and license plate light are all LED's.

I changed the parking lamps so that they could do both parking and directional.

You do not need load resisters for the kit to work.

The only thing that you see is the little left/right directional light control unit under the dash. The unit can also be mounted on the gear shift, but you will see the wire.

The directional unit also comes with a flasher and beeper. The beeper is so loud that I had to put some tape on it to tone it down.

Looks like a very neat job!

if it is not a high point car, why hide them ? Wayne

I've added wireless directionals that clip on the plate

I used the ticken thru time on my A and my 1937 love them, no indicator lights just the beeper..

I was hesitant to go with signals or LEDs, that is, until I got rear-ended.

You're right, its a good change.

Oh, just have to say it. That car is way to neat and clean ! [ smiley face]

What brand wireless system and can you post some pictures ?

This is what the tail LED taillights look like. For you purists, maybe the LED look isn't correct. But bright they are.

Turn signals...yes
LED's...yes

Beats the alternative...

Are you still running a positive ground 6volt system? If so please tell us the supplier and part numbers of the LEDs. I have a similar turn signal set up, but have not yet sourced suitable LEDs.

Thanks

I am using a positive 6 volt system.

Attached is my entire order.

Note, you will not need all of the same items if you already have a right rear tail lamp.

Turn signals are only good if the person next to you gives a damn when he sees them.

Thats true, but, at least you can do your part by letting him know. My thats my take on it anyway.

I didn't want to switch to red lens either, but, did for the law and safety reasons. Don't know if any of it has worked, but, I haven't been hit again. Now I don't even notice the changes.
