Default RE: break light burnout

Um, guys...

The Pershing and Sherman light sets are NOT LED's. They are microbulbs. I know because I shattered one when trying to get it into the light fixture (brake one as well here, tanktank, but on the Sherman)

I had hoped to find a distributor of the fine 1.65mm LED's (3mm's are to big) but cannot find one, and most of the US sellers that have 'em won't sell to Canada.

tanktank, I'd invest in the new set, and keep the damaged set for spare bulbs and plug. And make sure you get the right set, they are NOT intercompatible (though the bulbs may be (ain't tested the voltages yet)

They may be probably 2v grain of wheat, but I've never seen comparable ones in the hobby shop.

I've opened up my heat-shrink on the harnesses if anyone wants a wiring diagram for 'em (The Shermans are all 5 in series, if you jump across the brake, the other four are brighter, the Pershing is a set of three and a set of two)
