I also fitted some 6 volt LED bulbs to my original gauges in my 34 FORD. The original bulbs were very dull to my old eyes but the little LEDs fixed that. Make sure the LEDs are suitable to POS. or NEG ground to suit your car. Some are OK with both polarities. Regards, Kevin.

Got them from Amazon. Search for 6 volt LED. On the taillight bulbs search for 6 volt 1157 LED. They have staggered pins unlike the original sockets. So I just replaced my taillight buckets with the reproductions that have staggered sockets.

Nice to know about the LED bulbs. I'll get some. To solve the staggered pins problem I've always just ground the offending pin. Worked for me.
 
Thanks for posting Ken, for those who might also have a Model T/A logolites have some very nice LED headlight either for +/- ground.

Check out logolights.com
 
LEDs make a big difference. I bought different ones from superbrightled.com a few years ago, however I believe the cheap China made product overheated and caused the bulb to burst and fail. Just something to keep an eye on to make sure they hold up.
 
Ken did you use red or white like the originals. These bulbs should be much cooler than the originals. Did you notice the difference?
