testing out my leds

[68 CHARGER R/T]

what a huge difference (drivers side leds and passenger stock bulbs) no flasher required or resistors just plug and play 

[skip68]

I love those.   

[1BAD68]

How much$ and where did you get them?

[DrHemi]

Tempting

[68 CHARGER R/T]

How much$ and where did you get them?

got them right here 1BAD68 same ones in  the link, or you could go even brighter (more leds in them )

[will]

Did you get the clear or red?

[greenpigs]

$18 a pop...6 X $18 = 

[skip68]

I don't think that's a bad price.   

[greenpigs]

The stock bulbs are on the dim side, if I eat PB & jelly for 2 weeks I can swing it.

It might prevent someone from rear ending you so it's cheap when you put it that way.

[68 CHARGER R/T]

Did you get the clear or red?

Got the red ones

[68 CHARGER R/T]

$18 a pop...6 X $18 = 

I know pricey but i will feel safer. they don't heat up and  less current

[FLG]

Better prices on here

Ive used their bulbs with no issues.

[six-tee-nine]

Thats cool stuff......

Did'nt knew of the existance of those. O think that is a good investment for our classics to keep up a bit with the demands of modern traffic. I feel this is just as important than upgrading the brake system of our cars.

[1BAD68]

Very cool and pretty cheap insurance.
I'm going to order some, last summer I started driving my Charger at night and was a bit nervous because of the lighting.

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Do they actually illuminate the whole lens like the incandescent bulbs do or do they just look like a "single LED" inside the lens?

[1970Moparmann]

Thanks for sharing!  I don't think the price is bad at all.   

[68 CHARGER R/T]

Do they actually illuminate the whole lens like the incandescent bulbs do or do they just look like a "single LED" inside the lens?

They light up the whole lens, they are a 360 degree  bulb (leds on the sides as well, not just firing front)

[Brightyellow69rtse]

i cant find the 1095 bulbs on there.

You have a straight on pic of the rear of the car with them?  Brakes on & just tails on?

[skip68]

Can you post a picture from directly behind the car?    

[68 CHARGER R/T]

Can you post a picture from directly behind the car?    

I will try to take a  better pic just not much room in my garage,  she's backed up to the wall

[68 CHARGER R/T]

Its same bulb as a 1156

awesome thank you sir!

[Brightyellow69rtse]

i just bought the tailights and the parking light leds. from that second site that was linked. total was like 50 bucks. i cant wait to see how they look. my parking lights always looked like crap no matter how good i grounded them.

I know exactly what you mean, our stock  brake lights are as bright as these newer cars with just parking lights on

Same here!

So according to this:  
http://www.1969chargerregistry.com/gallery/facts/chart_pic_001?full=1

A rear set for a 68 would be four 1157 or 23x5630 (red).  
http://www.ddmtuning.com/Products/1157-LED

+ two 1157 (A) for the front turn signals (amber).  But I can't find the 1157 (A).  Is that the same as the 1095?

Thanks - and good find!

i'm doing the wifes interior in her 05 cherokee you can see the difference front to rear ones,(sorry about the poor pics) mini bulbs are in the rear.

[1BAD68]

so it looks like 6 of these...   http://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/tail-brake-turn/1157-can-bus-led-bulb--dual-intensity-27-smd-led-tower/1392/
will do all tailights and both front lights?

yes they will.some say they require the flasher as well but i didnt have any issues with the hyperflash as they call it.  i'm gonna do the rest of mine as well  , too pricey for me  all at once   lol

[Brightyellow69rtse]

i ordered the 18 led ones.  i was gonna get a dome light but i couldnt find one on there.

i will post pics when i get them in

the dome light for some reason is the hardest to get, but they said they can order them

[WHITE AND RED 69]

Looks great!    Did you do the front parking lights and reverse lights too?

[68 CHARGER R/T]

So what's the word BrightYellow?  Get an opportunity to try out those lamps yet??

[Brightyellow69rtse]

no i havent. they havent arrived yet. ive been too busy to follow up on it. hopefully toorrow or friday i can see what the hell is going on 

[68 CHARGER R/T]

i have a extra led to show you guys the difference, i rigged something up to show ya. no flash and lights were off in room   .  ignore the mess in the background   lol

[greenpigs]

WOW!

You should ask for a discount because you just sold me on replacing ALL my taillight bulbs with leds.

[billfury]

The red LED's will look great shining through the 72 Charger louvered taillights. Thanks. 

[1970Moparmann]

Wow, thanks for showing the results - they are huge!

[PlainfieldCharger]

   I put Led's in my pinball games too This will be on the charger list

[duanesterrr]

Wow that is a big difference.  Thanks for taking the time to set up the tests.  I might order some of these and I don't even own the car yet!

[Brass]

Do your turn signals work without the load resistors?  Mine didn't.

[HeavyFuel]

I bet the LED bulbs would work nicely in the center console. 

[triple_green]

OK..I am confused..sorry!

I want to do this for just my front turn signals/park lights on my 68. Which bulb? and which supplier is cheaper?

Thanks!

[68 CHARGER R/T]

Just tell them you want amber 1157 leds.            triple_green  

[66FBCharger]

Wow! What a difference!

[mauve66]

make sure you order the right color bulb for the application

[tracpack440]

Does anyone one have any pics of 69 or 70 tail lights with LED's . Do you need a special flasher to get the turn signals to work?.

[garner7555]

There is a lot of these on ebay a lot cheaper with free shipping.  Here is 1 example.

i don't wanna say too much, but you might be getting what you paid for with those cheaper ones.

You are probably right.  I have never purchased any from anywhere.  I was very interested in this post and these bulbs, but I am just a cheap skate and for half the price with free shipping it might be worth a try.   There is also always the chance that all these LED bulbs are made in the same factory in China.

don't worry my wallet isn't great either  lol  . i just started getting a few bulbs at a time .

BrightYellow was going to do just that when he gets his order to show up...

I've tried Hong Kong SMD LED's, and you almost cannot tell the difference between braking and regular tail lights.... I switched back to regular bulbs.

[bakerhillpins]

Interesting, never would have considered that issue. 

[66FBCharger]

I ordered the LEDs (from Superbright LEDs) for the rear brake/ turn signals and front turn signals for my '69. I am planning to take a few photos comparing the LEDs to the incandesent bulbs.
I didn't buy the electronic flashers and am hoping that the original flashers work with the LEDs. If the original flashers don't work, can I get the electronic flashers somewhere local (like NAPA or Autozone)?

[Charger-Bodie]

Yep, I bought my electronic flashes from napa.

[66FBCharger]

Do you have a part number ? How much did they cost?
Thanks!

Sorry, I dont have the part number,but if I remember correctly it was right around ten bucks.

They range in price at SuperBrightLED

I'd like to see this. Please post pics when you get them installed! 

Anyone know what bulbs would be compatible with the dome, map, and console lights? They were sizes 1004 & 90.

Go to the Superbright site and type in your car.  It will tell you all the bulbs you need.

I saw those too, Brian!     That would work for the 1004.
The hard one to get is the size 90. It appears there is no cross reference number for that bulb. It's a fairly small bulb as well. Maybe a short 1142 cross referenced LED bulb would work?

I used those same ones in all 3. they dont get hot ,so they work out just fine.

You are correct Bill, 1142 crosses. Pricey buggers though.
