I've got the Ecklers LED's in my '70. The one problem they have is if you still have the fiber optics they no longer see the lights. Flasher problem can can be solved with an inline resistor or a load free electronic flasher.

i think they're grote also. i got them from a shop here in town that specializes in commerical vehicle lighting. they're the same kind you see on 18-wheelers. find a place like that in your town and you're in business.

Ebay actually. My Vette originally came with one just like it but it was destroyed when something in my garage fell on it when it was out of the car. I happened to find the same thing on Ebay so I bought it and installed it.
