Sounds like you and Petek (another digital electronics guru, pretty sure he's an EE) ought to collaborate on this, then find a marketing avenue for this amittedly niche, but necessary device could prove to be a profitable sideline.

I'm perhaps the worst example of retaining originality when more contemporary technology makes for a better, safer car. (17" wheels, power steering that works, factory power brakes, and heatshields on the sidepipes.)

I have the '66 twin round Healy lights. Red for tail and stop, and amber for turn. The Ron Francis "Bright Lites" make a substantial difference in the visibility of the car at night. If the lenses were glass, I'd try halogen bulbs, but the heat output of the halogens would quickly melt the plastic lenses. The Ron Francis lights have one drawback, and only on the brake lights. Short lifespan in high traffic density areas where the brakes are on most of the time in stop/go and rush hour traffic. I carry a pair of spares for the brakelights in the car, and find I'm replacing them about every 3 - 4 months. The front park/turn, and rear turn are the originals from Sept '01 when the car was first put on the street.

If you guys come up with an LED substitute for the '66 Healy style lamps in red, and amber; that function in dim mode (park - tail), and bright mode (turn - brake), I'll buy a set.
