Anyone change out the filament bulbs to 24v LEDs? I'm looking for the Stop/Turn and Marker (tail) lights.
From what I can research the Stop/Turn are #1156 and are commonly replaceable with equivalent LEDs.
The markers, #1251, not so easy...

Re: Filament to LED Light Bulbs??
Some flasher systems will not work with LED lights. Something about the different resistance of LEDs throws them off.

Already converted to a Signal Stat 900 and LED compatible flasher.

The Stop/Turn bulbs can be changed with a LED 1156 rated at 12-24v. Since the Mil housings don't have reflected interiors be sure to get the ones with LEDs on the end.
Output is a little brighter than the dual filament bulb. At least there's some draw reduced on the minimal 25a generator.
