Hello,
I have tried 2 different LED taillight bulbs that fit the socket in my 64 Newport, however they will not flash. Apparently there is too much resistance in the circuit for a low amp LED bulb?

Anybody find a bulb that works? Standard is a 1034 bulb and the newer 1157 all fit.

If not any recommendations for a good halogen bulb? I cannot find any reliable information.

Anyone found a good halogen headlight bulb that plugs in requiring no modifications?

Thank you, John

 

a lot of times you need the kit. did you just swtich bulbs? that usually doesnt work.

 

I did not know about the kit, so I just tried the bulbs. I see the older posts with info on the flasher etc. Thank you. This was very helpful

 

Yep... Need to change the flasher unit out to work with the LEDS..

 

Bimetalic flasher need the current from a filament running through them to heat up and open. An electronic flasher doesn't.

 

Thanks. this was helpful. I think i will just leave my halogen taillights in place.
