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  :RantExplode:

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!

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

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!

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.

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!
