Jim Allen Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 Bob, Are you still making these? Cheers Jim Allen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted September 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) Hi Jim. Yes I am, I see you have a TR2, so I would suggest a set of three rear bulbs: 1 X center stop / number plate, 2 X Stop / Flasher / Tail (£16 each) To go with those you would need an LED compatible flasher relay, & I would recommend changing the front sidelights to LED also. I can provide (not make) the relay & front bulbs. Let me know what if any of the above you would like. I see you also have an XK if this has the same rear lights as TR, then I could make bulbs for that also. Cheers Bob. P,S. I will need to know if car(s) is/are _ve or +ve earth for the bulbs Edited September 3, 2020 by Lebro Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Allen Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 Hi Bob, Thanks for quick reply. It is a TR2 but I have fitted a wiring harness from Advance Auto Wiring with multiple relays and a flasher unit suitable for LEDs and I am using LEDs in the front turn signal indicators already. I also have wiring from the centre stop light to the rear tail lights as I borrowed Edwin Tiben's idea of mounting some LEDs directly to the lens. Unfortunately one of these lens was broken recently so I'm pursuing the idea of using your LED arrangement to give me the 3 brake lights. The XK 150 S was sold many moons ago. What's the time delay after ordering? Cheers Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted September 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 Jim. I am making two bulbs later today for David Owen, as soon as I know if +ve or -ve earth, I can make yours - could be posted start of next week. Bob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Allen Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 Hi Bob, Apologies. Time difference has caught me out so I've probably missed your deadline. I'm trying to find out if any one else here in Sydney might be interested in an order so could be sent as one package. I'm -ve earth. Cheers Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted September 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 No worries, I delayed starting the pair for David as it is more efficient for me to make them as a "batch" I will probably start them this morning. I can always make more for your fellow TRists. A large package may not be a good idea any way, because the value goes up, & you are more likely to get caught out with extra customs payments. I have been caught that way before when ordering goods from overseas. Cheers Bob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Allen Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 Thanks Bob, I'll order the 3 bulb set as you suggest. As I said before I am already negative earth with correct flasher unit so should be a straight forward fitting. Please advise what I need to do next. Cheers Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted September 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 Nothin' ! Just send me a PM with your address, & I will make the bulbs, post them, then let you know the total including postage. you can pay using PayPal, or bank transfer, or any other way you can think of ! In case you are not aware of how to send a PM (personal message) just click on "Lebro" above my mug shot, then click on "Message" Cheers Bob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ralph Whitaker Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 Just received and fitted Bobs led conversion for the tail lights. Big improvement in light output, and as it just plugs in to the existing bulb holder its easy to change back too. Ralph, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also, I have had a number of unsolicited positive comments on the brightness of my taillights. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Geoff R Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 Hi lebro I am very interested in the stop/tail led conversion. I have an XK140 and not a TRregister member, is there any way that I could purchase a pair. Thanks Geoff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted August 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 Got your PM Geoff, & have replied. but - yes of course you can, if they are what you need for the XK Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bblehead Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 Just like to post and thank Bob for this fantastic upgrade to my lights. The difference is truly amazing and the service provided second to none. Highly recommend to anyone who has not already upgraded, the best money I have spent on my car without doubt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Morrison Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 Hi Bob, have a group member asking about converting his front side, rear tail/stop, all indicators, and all dashboard to LED's. From memory H ewill need Red Led for th estop/Tail, and a suitable flasher unit, who was your recommended supplier so he gets the good bulbs? Cheers, John. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted February 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 Hi John. What TR type ? If sidescreen, then I make the stop/tail bulbs (TR3A) or stop / tail / flasher, and stop / numberplate (TR2/TR3) but buy in the rest, & the flasher unit. If TR4 - 6 then all bought in. I use classiccarleds.co.uk best bulbs, best prices. Recommended bulbs from them: https://www.classiccarleds.co.uk/collections/sidelight-bulbs/products/bay15d-1157-white-and-amber-tail-sidelight-and-indicator-combined-led-380 https://www.classiccarleds.co.uk/collections/indicator-bulbs/products/bright-amber-smd-led-indicator-bulbs-ba15s-glb382 https://www.classiccarleds.co.uk/products/latest-led-headlights-h4-philips-z-es-hi-lo-beam-conversion-9-32v?variant=8239030763615 https://www.classiccarleds.co.uk/collections/dashboard-gauge-bulbs-1/products/glb987-e10mes-warm-white-3000k-5-smd-led-bulbs-dashboard-gauge-lighting-1 https://www.classiccarleds.co.uk/collections/indicator-relays-electronic/products/12v-electronic-indicator-flasher-relay-classic-car-with-oe-click-x-l-p-2-3-pin Cheers Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
