    On my 68 Cougar I just used LED bulbs west coast classic cougar sells. Pricy but very bright and works well.

    This is pretty much what I have on mine Billy. I fitted them maybe 6 or 7 years ago and never had any problems. They are nice and bright too.

    Re: Still on the search for for good LEDTail lights

    Your choice is complicated by different features... do you want the sequential blink, or all on at once? The sequential blink is done by using a circuit board populated with a bunch of individual LEDs. I like the sequential blink, but they look pixelated to me (you can see the individual hot spots). Vintage LEDs makes a good product in this version.
    If you want all on at once, then the Plasma LED sold by West Coast Classic Cougar is a good choice. Just pop out the 1157 bulb and replace it with this. Its a much brighter version of the old incandescent bulb and doesn't have the pixelated look, but no sequential blink. Decisions, decisions.
