FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)
HOW DO I SHOW MY EMAIL ADDRESS ALONG WITH MY USERNAME? You can LogIn on the Forum, and select PREFERENCES.

I don't see one. About 2-3 months ago there was a discussion about red LED 6V tail light bulbs.

Tried it with the same result. Are you sure you were not on another forum (fordbarn.com maybe)? Usually all of the lights are white and the lens provides the color.

Any chance you were thinking about this one from 2010?

SuperBrightLEDs carries 6 volt 1156 (Single Contact) and 1157 (Dual Contact) type bulbs. They come in Red, White, and Amber, and the 1157 type contain 19 LEDs per bulb. Price for Red is $7.95 per bulb.

http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-bin/store/index.cgi?action=DispPage&Page2Disp=/specs/1156_57-x12-24V.htm

I use these in the tail lights on my '47 Tudor, and am very happy with them. I also have the BrakeLighter 6V LED 3rd Stop Light/Turn Signal bar in the rear window. I found that after installing the LED 3rd brake light, the regular stop/turn signal bulbs were really slow compared to the instantaneous LED lamps. With the LED tail lights, they all turn on at the same time. I also installed one of the Low Pressure Brake Light Switches from Ron Francis Wiring. It was only after I could see the reflection of the 3rd brake light in the rear window,that I realized how much pressure it required to turn on, and keep the brake lights lit. Now, they light up with just the slightest touch of the brake pedal. I still use the regular 6v bulbs in the front park/turn lamps, as they provide the load for the flasher unit.
I wrote up a presentation on the theory and use of LED lamps for a local club meeting a couple of years ago. It's available on our website:
