Converting to LEDs?
Posted: Thu May 16, 2019 5:29 pm
Hi All,
Been a while since I posted here. I am doing a frame off resto on a 51 M37 for a man in Mass. He would like to have all of the lights be LED. My question is, will the standard Mil flasher work with LED bulbs? I know many flashers will not, due to the lack of resistance with the LEDs. I know the trick of having an incandescent bulb in the mix for resistance but would rather do this right. I know the newer Military trucks use LEDs, is it just a matter of using a newer flasher? Lastly, if I need a newer flasher, do they use the same canon plug that the M37 used? (probably not!)
Thanks,
Tim
