Source for 6 Volt LED Bulbs (not Headlight)

Post by DontKnowMuch » Thu Apr 23, 2020 11:51 am

I am looking for suggestions for direct replacement 6 volt LED bulbs for Tail lights and period correct turn signals. These are single contact and double contact parallel pin bulbs. I have found numerous 12 volt versions in both white and red for less than $2 each but still looking for 6 volt versions.

Any suggestions?

Try this place;

Look for ones that are rated in the 6 volts range. Many on this site are not polarity sensitive. I would stay away from any that are rated, say 0-36 volts, they don't seem to be bright at the lower voltages. These would be best powered by battery not magneto (AC verse DC).
To add; other thing is to watch the base size, some fit better in the standard socket some do not. Color; The web site I posted suggest using the same color bulb as your lens, red lens red bulb etc.

This is something I will be hunting for when I get to the rewiring of my delivery/hack. Just a quick search on Amazon.com turned up quite a few results.

I've never used any of these but it gives me hope that they are listed.
