For many of us, the first time we saw LED tail lights, or lights on a vehicle was like the backs of semi-trailers. You know, the reason for that is these, you know the LED bulb was able to take a lot of abuse, in a tractor trailer kind of set up, where there's hardly any suspension. Those light bulbs were notorious for going out, and flickering in and everything else, but LEDs changed that, you know I remember the first time I saw them, they were just amazing. You know, I thought, wow, those are cool. Next time I saw him was on the backs of the luxury cars. You suddenly saw them on the backs of, of Cadillacs and Audi's and other, you know, high luxury models, and it was like, wow, those are neat. Nowadays, you see them on almost every car on the road. And you know, one of the people that were, behind that years ago is United Pacific, and United Pacific has, for years made LED lights for tractor trailers, and semis but then suddenly they decided they wanted to be, into the classic car business too, because surely you could get LEDs on your, you know, modern car, but, for the same advantages can be brought into the classic car, world too. Thankfully, you know, they responded by creating, over 7,000 different products for the classic car industry. So whether you want to set a full set of LED lights, for your ride, or, if you want a full steel body, for a 32 Ford Coupe, they've got it. So what we're going to do today, we're gonna to actually, you know, upgrade our 1973 Ford Bronco, with a set of LED lights. And that includes, you know, a great set of led headlights. The owner has selected a, you know, he was surprised at how big, a selection they actually had when he went to, figure out what headlights he wanted to put in. He's decided that, you know, he has kind of a, he's not a purist, he's not a pure restoration kind of guy who wants to, kind of aggressive and modern look to it, so you selected this, this, this handsome looking led headlight. And to that, we're going to pair that with, you know, all new led side markers, and then these great front turn signal, parking lights that have 35 LEDs in each one. And then we're even go out back, and we're going to upgrade the tail lights, to a full LED tail lights, and what's great about this. It gives us the option of, either we can have all of the LEDs come on at once, or sequentially they can move across the lens. So we're going to add a great set of LED tail lights. Of course, whenever you make any sort of LED conversion, you need to swap out the flasher, to an electronic flasher. What the flasher does, is allows the flasher to actually operate, cause the traditional flasher in a car, requires a certain amount of resistance, that's created with the filaments in the old style bulbs, in electronic flasher, rather than count on resistance, to make that on-off connection that a flasher has. It uses just like an internal timer. So it like on for a split second then off. So it's a great addition, you know, and it will ensure that our, our, all of our turn signals and flashers operate properly, and they don't do that either that hyperflash, or that just don't work kind of thing. So with that, you know, we've got a complete selection of, of United Pacific products. Also check out, go to their website check out, and see what they have available for your ride. You might be surprised.
