Now available in 6 volt! Plug and play LED upgrade for 356 tail lights, brake lights as well as front and rear turn signals!

These top of the line super high output SMD LEDs use the stock housings and reflectors so the setup looks extremely authentic, just up to 4x brighter than stock! Be seen up to a mile away even in bright daylight, yet they only use a fraction of the power stock bulbs need.

Color LEDs (red, amber or vintage white) for warm and vibrant colors, even when your lenses are faded.

Sets available for pre A through C and come with a plug and play 6 volt electronic flasher relay. Installation is an easy DIY project that only takes about 15 minutes!

Check out the difference, stock lights on the left, LED on the right:
$140 for the complete set with flasher, free S&H for a limited time!

I have had Jules' front turn signal bulbs in for a while, he just sent me his latest versions. His bulbs are over twice as bright as the original 1129 / Osram 7526 or 7572. They are also warm white, thus match the 2800K color of the old filament bulb. Two things that stand out, #1 the bulbs are an instant off and on, giving the time of full illumination a split second longer each blink, same for the brake lights, #2 the multi LEDs are spread over a larger area, that means that the Fresnel lens of the beehive lens spreads light in all directions. The filament bulb has a very small point light source, and the lens focuses the light forward as a hot spot, but from the side it isn't very bright. An electronic flasher is required due to the low wattage draw of LEDs. In my opinion anything that can be done to make cars more visible, especially in bright daylight, is a huge addition in safety. I also have had Jules' LED dash bulbs for several years, makes a huge difference.

Thank you for your review Steve, greatly appreciated! As you stated, the draw is very low on these LEDs (about 80% less than stock bulbs) so I include a 6v electronic flasher relay with the set. It plugs right into the stock socket and has a wonderful mechanical clicking sound when on, so it even sounds like a stock relay! It also eliminates the common slow flashing when the car is idling. Win-win.

Jules, can you email me with the cost and where I send the money. 6V. C Coupe. ..........Jim.

Do you do lights and flashers for 12 volt also?

Here’s Jule’s LEDs for 6v application- much better illumination vs filament bulbs.

Sorry but they loaded in wrong orientation.

Thank you for posting, Ken. That looks awesome! Yes, 6v and 12v available. My setup uses the stock reflector, so it looks just like original, just much brighter at a mere fraction of the draw. Your generator will thank you.
