dds92780 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 As the topic states, I am switching my turn signals on my RD, They are the square looking ones with dual post. Basically i want to know what your opinion is on these. LED or just the regular. In my opinion the LED looks too bubbly and far out for the style of truck. I was thinking of just going with the regular ones but with the chome on top and sides. Here are some pics. I think this one is neat because of the chrome on top but im not a fan of seeing everyone putting red in the front of you. I like amber, its soothing to look at Notice how you can see my plain jane one to the right side? I think its overkill Quote Slow and Steady Wins the Race!

Freightrain Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I have the ol round style filament bulbs on my B model, with the chrome body. There are fancier versions, with visors and such. I like filament style, but the LED is kinda cool too. I have 4 LED 4" rounds in the back of the truck(very bright). I just bought replacement fixtures for the back of my Haulmark trailer, full LED. A WHOLE lot brighter then the original versions. Get to annoy people behind me with those ridiculous headlights now!Here's one plac to look:http://www.class8truckparts.com/category/14278164121/1/Grote-Truck-Lighting.htm Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

storkmack Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I replaced mine about 8 years ago with led ones i bought off ebay. They have been great, and I like how they look. -Brad Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29577-turn-signals-led-or-regular/#findComment-159336 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dds92780 Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 Brad did you get amber on both sides? that is what I am looking but alll I'm finding is Amber slash red or if I do find to Amber's it's got the circular LED display I prefer the square LED display in all amber Quote Slow and Steady Wins the Race!

Freightrain Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I think you'll find it hard to find twin amber, only due to regulations denoting you must show RED to the rear.How well do the LED lights work on positive ground? Most any LEDs will have two wires, allowing to hook them up to "positive" ground system. It won't know the difference actually, it just needs to have power polarity correctly hooked to leads.

dds92780 Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 I just called the safety lane and they verified that its fine and technically its supposed to be all amber for a turn signal in front but its not illegal.

Freightrain Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Red bulbs must face to the rear. Of course the fact many vehicles have amber rear turn signals, I guess it's a moot point having dual amber front turn signals. Seems I just heard it that way sometime long ago. Maybe that only goes for marker light? Not turn signals. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

dds92780 Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 its a must if its to the rear of the vehicle but not for turn signals located where the stud is on the hood Quote Slow and Steady Wins the Race!

dds92780 Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 im talking about on the same turn signal, where it has two faces but is still in the front of the cab. I'm not even sure anymore lol. The turn signals that are stock on our trucks are double faced with amber to begin with. Has the law changed? I couldn't imagine if it is LED that the law changes when the signal is still mounted in the same place as the old one Quote Slow and Steady Wins the Race!

Maddog13407 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 signal lights on the front fender are suppose to be red twards the rear and amber twards the front,. been that way forever. never seen all amber on both faces and pretty sure some cop somewhere would have a problem with it. never liked the square signals period. just my opinion. dont even like the superliner signal lights.

dds92780 Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 Ok, so i decided to go on truck paper and look at examples of other peoples turn signals are mounted on a rd 688s even models that were the newest at 2003 had turn signals amber both ways. In fact i had a hard time finding red toward the back on any of them. I'm not starting an argument but i don't know why people say they have never seen it that way. Anyways, everyone have a good night . Quote Slow and Steady Wins the Race!

Freightrain Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 LED has nothing to do with it. It is what color faces what direction.I wonder the fact it does not glow continuously(like a marker light) that it can blink amber to the rear. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

dds92780 Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 Well, i still havent gone to bed yet lol. What does everyone think of the square led turn signals but with the circular light shape around it? i have been watching a video of it and i thought it might be cool because i really liked circular lights on my old R and since those don't fit i figure it would still show a round look encased in the light. Ever seen that? Quote Slow and Steady Wins the Race!
