I switched every lite possible last year and no regrets - just some disgusted looks from the purists lol but I need to see in Deert country so I don't care!
There is two flashers in my car but I only changed one of them to the modern style as the other flasher is still stuck in the board for some reason - all the lites are working great. Good luck!

When I rewired our car with American Autowire harness, I didn't need to change the flasher.

I've pretty much converted every car over to LED's. Interior and exterior. Absolutely a worthwhile upgrade to help these old eyes see at night.
I use the glass conversion lenses for the headlights that look factory ($20 on amazon) and then install Lightening Dark LED bulbs that are plug and play. Purists don't say a thing cause they can't tell it's converted

OK lets discuss brands
Ive used Superbrite LEDs(brand) in the past with good luck. So much garbage out there Im hesitant to choose anything else.

I have a few NOS Hellas that are glass/steel in
round and rectangular. In my 97 Bird they are miles above OEM and Im sure even further than T3s

I agree on Superbright LEDs. I use 3 red ones on each side on the tail lights for my 64 Grand Prix. I’ve avoided any flasher issues by retaining the standard incandescent bulb in the front turn lights. I’m more concerned about bright stop and turn indicators in the rear than the front turn signals.

Yes, I run red colored LED's in all my tail lights as well. However I've converted the front turn signals to yellow LED's and simply swapped over to an electronic flasher I pick up at Napa for a few bucks to make it all work.
That setup has worked great for a few years now in the firebird, chevelle, mustang, camaro etc... I just swap everything over including the side markers. I just buy the 1157/1156/194 LED bulbs in bulk from Amazon. The ones I like to use are the LED's with projection tips like these..... https://www.amazon.com/BRISHINE-Bril...29&sr=8-9&th=1 I find these are much brighter and show a bigger difference from dim to bright when braking or turn signals are used vs the other style that just has the little squares all around,,,,if that makes sense. I experimented a lot with the LED bulbs before I settled on these projection tip style bulbs. I also found they work better if the colored LED's are used to match the lens they are behind. White LED's tend to bleech out the color. |

I use lightening bright for the headlights and they are really bright. Those projection tip bulbs I linked to are super bright. I haven't been particularly brand specific on those. Ive run probably 3 different brands that have all been great as long as they have that projection lens.

I must be losing my mind George, lol. My bad they are called Lightening Dark.
Here's a link, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CXDJKDD5...mc_s_m_5_i_atc |
