While researching this kit, our objectives were clear: improve the underwhelming tail light performance without compromising the tail/brake light contrast, achieve optimal front marker light brightness, significantly enhance brake light responsiveness, and meaningfully upgrade reverse light visibility. We're pleased to report that this kit successfully meets—and even exceeds—these goals.
Fits: 1968-79 Type II Bus
Kit includes:
*A note on converting to LED: We have found that most of the time, our Exterior LED Bulb Kit functions as designed. However, some vans exhibit funky turn signal behavior, but fear not— We have a fix! We include a and a new turn signal relay to remedy the issue a small percentage of folks might experience.
Why switch to LEDs? LEDs outperform incandescent bulbs in every key area: brighter light output, instant on/off response, vastly longer lifespan, and—most importantly—dramatically lower power consumption. This lower power draw translates to a much lower amperage requirement, which is especially beneficial for older vehicles.
In classic vehicles, aging wiring, terminals, and sockets naturally develop higher resistance over time. Because LEDs require less amperage, there's less voltage drop across the system, meaning more voltage reaches the light socket. Higher voltage at the socket improves lighting reliability—one of the main reasons vehicles transitioned from 6V to 12V systems in the first place.
The bottom line? With LEDs, your stop, turn, reverse, and marker lights are far more likely to work exactly when you need them to.
