Classic cars look amazing… but let’s be honest — their tail lights and indicators are often dangerously dim compared to modern vehicles.
In this episode of Aussie Garage, Phil heads down to Bangin’ Headlights in Western Australia to test a brand new LED globe upgrade designed specifically for classic cars.
George from Bangin’ Headlights installs the new plug-and-play LED brake lights, tail lights and indicator globes into Phil’s van so we can compare standard factory bulbs vs modern LED lighting side-by-side.
The difference is massive.
These LED globes are designed to be brighter, safer and more visible, helping drivers behind you clearly see when you're braking or indicating — something that can be a real issue with older vehicles.
We also cover:
• Why classic cars often have dim tail lights
• The importance of proper grounding (earth) for lighting systems
• Plug-and-play LED upgrades with no resistors required
• Dual colour LED globes for reverse lights and indicators
• Tips for upgrading lighting on classic Holdens, Fords, Mopars and hot rods
