Note: I am not endorsing the company "Superbright LED's.com" in any way, shape, or form. I simply happened to choose them out of a list of possible retailers on the internet, paid full price, and went with their product.
I bought and tested out some LED lights for the 1970 Ford LTD. Two ambers for the front, and two reds for the rear. Let's just say two out of four ain't bad... and I'll leave it at that.
Moral of the story, be prepared to do some modifications if you plan on installing LED's in an older car. Stock incandescent bulb, electrical set-up, has some standards that don't make the newer LED's necessarily run well right out of the package.
I mean... sometimes they will, but sometimes they won't. You'll see which ones worked for me and which ones didn't. If you decide to do this on your own, might I suggest an electrical ballast to prevent "hyper flashing", or a rewiring so that what the car thinks is the dim filament of an incandescent bulb, doesn't trigger the brighter lights on an LED bulb.
I'm sure there are others who can explain it a lot better than me.
