Got a 1946 Ford with a tail light problem. It's got the LED tail lights, the brake lights and blinkers are bright, but the running lights are very dim. And when the car is switch off the LED tail lights stay on but it's very dim. Can't see that they are on unless its dark are your very close. And in a day or two it runs the battery down. Any suggestion on the problem. Thanks

Thanks - just got the car a couple of weeks ago and haven't figured out how they did anything yet. And it the first car (Rod) I've owned like this.

Thanks for the help

How about a few pictures, looks like you got yourself a nice car. Hope you get the minor bugs worked out. These guys can help, great site.

Welcome to the site. Like the car. How about some more details? Drive train, interior, etc?

Richard is right. There are a lot of knowledgeable folks on here, always eager to help.

Thanks guys here are some pics. Haven't had time to take some outside.
Spent most of it's life in Oklahoma then a few years in Florida and now Georgia.

It's a 1946 Ford Business Coupe, Porsche Performance Red with 350 chevy engine, 350 GM Trans and 9 in ford rear end. Everything has been shaved, has electric windows, concealed switches inside, Old air R-12, Lecarra Steering Wheel, 4" dropped front axle.

As my son would say...SWEET!

Very nice.

Richard

Thanks guys

Don't know anything about LED's, but remember reading somewhere that they require an additional load in the circuit to operate properly??????

Hi Hutch,
Do you happen to know much about the car's "Oklahoma" history? I'm originally from there. It would be cool & weird if I knew the Okies that owned it!! LOL! Looks like a "Sweet" ride!

The tax receipt has Dean Graham -- Meeker, OK. Wish I could get some old pics of the car.

Interesting......my cousin lived in Meeker for a few years in the 80's and early 90's. I'll ask her if she knew of this guy....

Thanks ----

randyr just talked to the guy in OK. very nice car guy, he bought it from someone in OK. that did all the work. He said that guy found the car in a field and turned it into the Rod it is today. Original all steel car and original seats. Wish I had a picture of it in that field.
