Hey guys, trying to decide how I'm going to configure turn signals on the 41. I would love to use the park lights on the fenders, can I swap in different sockets to take 1157 bulbs? I've been looking for a conversion for them but coming up empty.
Or-now there's the fancy led headlights with built in turn signals, but most are 7 inch where my car has 5 3/4" I believe. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Dorman or someone like that sell the under the bulb disk and 2 wire combo to repair or in your case to replace the one wire combo. Simple and cheap as that.
Yeah, but aren't the little alignment 'nubs' different between the 1156 (single filament) and 1157 (double filament) bulbs? On the 1156 they are even but on the 1157 they are staggered. At least that has been my experience...perhaps there is another two-filament bulb that can be used instead.
Cool thanks guys. I will pull the glass off them and see what it will take to do this. I just wasn't sure if there was plug and play deal I wasn't seeing.
Well I got the sockets out, but the socket retainers came out with them. Looks like I'll have to jb weld them back in. Everything is very rusty in there.....
