Who Makes a Usable Rear Led Bulb That Fits?
I'm looking to replace the rear turn signal /brake light bulbs with leds. I purchased some quality led bulbs and the bases wont fit the socket correctly. I'm simply looking to replace the trade number 1157 bulb with an led.
Where did you get yours and do they work correctly?

I replaced my reverse light bulbs first. Wow what a difference? I am so impressed that I want to do all of the exterior lights.
I'm going to take a look at those bulbs that zwede posted.

You'll need to upgrade the flasher if you do more than the rears. I used a Tridon electronic flasher. Also, if you do the front running light/turn signals the front side markers have to be re-wired. I changed one wire on them so they flash with the front turn signal, but they won't light up when the running lights are on anymore.

https://www.superbrightleds.com/more...t-car/806/749/ They have an 1156 version also. Mine installed no problem at all.
I have these in the '61 and '72 and they are fast and bright.
Pay attention to the color vs lens color, you want red bulbs for red lens, etc.

zwede posted a part number for a flasher earlier in this thread.
