If they work, then I'll get some too.

I put amber in mine. People were getting confused with the white ones... �::) I wonder how well those shorties would fit?


I figured amber as well. The short globes are used in motorcycle applications. I put a call into the local HD dealerer to try and find me some.

I have three LED's and a HD flasher for sale cheap if anyone wants to take over �;D
If they were 12V, I'd take you up on it, but none of my Jeeps are still 6V.
If nobody wants to buy them off you, would you be interested in loaning them to me (I'll pay shipping) so I can do some tests on them. I'd like to measure some of the characteristics of those LEDs from Superbright. I'm thinking of using them for my '57 Wagon.

The Superbright web site doesn't go into data like reverse leakage and such. I'd like to make my own measurements for future (and others') reference.

PM me if you're interested.

For 6V, double filament, try 1154, 1158 or 1188

I also ordered a pair of stubby led 1157's. I'll wire everything up with the normal 1157 bulbs, to verify operation of the signals, then swap in the LED's. I'll see what happens in 7-11 business days when they arrive... �::)


B1007A is a good part number for the short globe, dual filament bulb.
I ordered 4 of them from the local Harley shop.

That's very encouraging.  I have the guy from Walter's Workshop (the link you posted here on this thread) supposedly ordering me some. Just an FYI - There's a cork gasket that goes on after the lens. Walck's carries them. If you install one of those on each light you can get rid of your o-rings and have a better chance of keeping the whole thing a little more water resistant.

Any Harley Davidson shop can get them, if he cant.


Thanks for the gasket tip !! I didn't know !!!

Got my clear stubby dual filament bulbs from Walter's Workshop today. They fit as hoped which means no more bezel spacers. Turn signal project finally scratched off the list.

Yep, I got some stubby ones too from a local Harley dealer. They fit and work great. I like the looks without the spacers I had too.
