ndnchf - could you post a part no. Or a link. I can't find any replacement bulbs, much less 6 V on the website LEDlights.com Then, do the bulbs fit the original sockets? And what reflectors did you use? Thanks

The head lights are part # 62528. The tail lights are part #95634, these have offset pins. The do make them for parallel pins too so check your tail lights before ordering. They all just replace the original bulb, no alterations needed. I just corrected the web site name. It is LEDlight.com

I had a curious experience. I bought the 6-volt H4 base LED headlight bulbs [Product Code: 65474] and installed one but left a halogen in the other headlight to compare the brightness. The low beam of the LED didn't work. The high beam did. The high and low beams both do work when both LEDs are in the car. But they're nowhere near as bright as the halogens.

And a curiouser experience. The dash lights [also LEDs] are on the same circuit as the taillights. But they light up when I step on the brake. Dim, but on.

"The dash lights [also LEDs] are on the same circuit as the taillights. But they light up when I step on the brake." That is a symptom of poor grounding at a tail/stop light socket. When the brake light voltage can't get to ground easily, some voltage back-feeds through the taillight filament (or LED array) and into the taillight circuit. I have no explanation for the headlight issue. LED's are funny animals, above my knowledge.
