What "front bulb"? The headlight bulb? The turn signal bulb? The parking light bulb? And 1966 was a 6v car not a 12v car.

My car has been converted to 12v. I was referring to the turn signal. I also think the LED bulbs are a good upgrade.

Well, 66 is single filament turn signal bulbs, and in 12V, that would be a 1156 then, or 1156NA if you want a bulb with amber glass, which makes for a better looking light if the lenses are faded.

I do not know how to fix this. All I can say is it all works fine for me with what I use, Firefox. |

Thanks. There are a lot of LED bulbs out there. Lots of them have mixed reviews. I guess you need to just try them out.

Chip has great high quality tail lights. Very low current for such bright tail lights. |
Never seen his light in person but from my interactions with Chip he is a pretty good guy. IMO people don't reach out and interact with others in forums like this if they are at all afraid their product isn't top notch. Endorsing Chip - I will be buying his lights after I get a couple other things that are higher priority sorted. |

| I've bought Chips lights for the my 58 bug to fit inside my snowflakes. They have stop/tail and indicators in one unit and are really clear. I got the correct relays from him too. Easy to install and look great. I got the indicator led's in yellow so they are nearer UK spec as most other drivers here don't know what a semaphore is! |
