Dan, make sure - if you buy them - you get the left hand drive ones.

Really???? I first thought I was being invited to a Snipe hunt - but I guess if they are an English light the low beam would be left oriented. Hmmm. Thanks (I think)

Anyway, this thread did get me off my lazy butt and I ordered Patrick's LED tail light bulbs.

Great! Next step, that beautifully crafted third brake light. Then, the four way flashers mounted in the glove box. Then, separate circuits for the pushers and puller fans. Then....

I am surprised no one has yet mentioned checking and upgrading your standard wiring to give a closer to 12 volt output at the light
by the time the voltage drops through the system from battery to switch and back to lights you are lucky to be hitting the bulb with 9 - 10 volts, re-wire the set up with additional relays and voila closer tyo 12 volt at the light less load on your swicth and wiring and MUCH brighter lights with NO CHANGES to visual stock look (except a couple of well hidden relays)
Daniel Stern did a great write up on this here..........

I did a HID conversion to mine years ago, using the Lucas headlights. Keith Kraft enterprises sold these back in the day. They REALLY light things up down the road.

The only problem with the setup is a bit of light scatter. I went back to KC about it and was offered no help or restitution. Had I known of the light scatter issue before I probably would not have done it. The theory was great, the application was lacking.
