find the flasher and get the added benefit of the lighter loads. <BR>Super

<DIV>I agree with Dennis on that one. My son Rob has been doing the LED switch
for years on his cars, as he prefers the added light the LEDs give off (not to
mention some have changeable colors like he has for his trunk light). </DIV>
<DIV>Dave, the lights that Shawn mentioned work very well on 6 volt systems, as
I've seen video of his and of another user of them (Josh), who are using them on
6 volt type 3s. They are very bright 6 volt bulbs (sorry LEDs). If I still had a
6 volt car running on 6 volts, I'd definitely have them on it.</DIV>
<DIV>But the "Super Bright LEDs" that have been mentioned here are reasonably
priced and are pretty bright on a type 3 with 12 volt. I was surprised to see
how bright they are in person. And they might make the difference between being
seen and not being seen.<FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent"
