BRAKE LIGHTS

Early Broncos came with two different styles of brake lights. One style is a completely red lens with no backup light. The other style is more common and has a small trapazoidal clear section for a backup light. I will offer two different combinations based on this information. The LED lights I offer will completely replace the current light bucket. People have experienced different problems when trying to use LEDs in place of regular light bulbs. The most common problems are 1. they won't work under certain conditions; and 2. the turn signals flash EXTREMELY slow. To combat the second problem, see my Accessories page. The most likely cause of the first problem I listed is that the current flow through the LEDs is not being limited to flow in only one direction. I ran into this problem when I made my first set of LED lights. Each light I will sell has a diode placed in each each light's current path. This will eliminate any current flows in undesirable directions. Also, because these lights are made on fiberglass circuit board material and not sheet metal, each light will have a ground wire that will need to be attached to a good ground. I will supply a ring terminal for the ground wire. Below is the description of each style I will offer.


The light shown on the left is for the '67 - '77 Broncos with backup lights. The LED's for the stop/turn and clearance functions are surface mount. The LED's for the backup light portion are standard 5mm size and are rated at 3000mcd each. I've placed the old bulb bucket next to the new panel to show the panel is the same size and shape and will take the place of the old bucket.


STYLE 1 - '67-'77

This style light has RED LED's behind the upper red section of the lens, along with extremely bright WHITE LED's behind the clear backup light section. This style is more expensive than the others due to the special WHITE LEDs. I feel however that the extra price will be worth it with the WHITE LEDs.

This light has 60 surface mount RED LEDs for the brake and turn signal function. These LEDs have a 850 mcd rating. The backup light funtion will use 24 WHITE LEDs. These LEDs have a 3000 mcd rating.

STYLE 2 - '66 only

This style is for those of you, like me, that have the full red lens with no reverse light provision. This light is simply a bunch of RED LEDs that cover the entire lens. So rather than having merely the upper portion of the lens lit you will have the entire lens lit. This should give a more pleasing look along with being brighter and safer for you and motorists behind you.

This light has 80 surface mount RED LEDs for the brake and turn signal function. These LEDs have a 850 mcd rating.


STYLE 1 - '67-'77 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $170.00 per pair
STYLE 2 - '66 only . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $110.00 per pair

NOTE: These prices include new stainless mounting hardware, and the necessary gaskets. A set of simple step by step installation instructions will also be provided.


I can also build a set of taillights that replace the backup lights with amber turn signals. Pricing for these is $110 for a set.
