> LED's illuminate 0.20 seconds faster than
incandescent bulbs.
(a vehicle moving at a speed of 65 miles per
hour will travel a distance of 19 feet in 0.20
seconds)
> No filament to burn-out, 24 high brightness
LEDs with a minimum life of 50,000 hours.
> Scrolling turn signal illumination, sweeping
illumination from in-board to out-board part of
the lens, not possible with after-market bulb
replacement type.
> Electronically controlled constant
brightness, even at idle engine speed.
> Simple wiring, matching color wires to the
factory harness.
> White painted LED reflector replaces, the
factory silvered plastic reflector.
> Rusty or inoperative lamp sockets are not
used, LED arrays connect directly to the
Pantera harness connector.
> Modern appearance without distorting the
original design.
> No mechanical modifications required
allowing return to the original incandescent
bulbs

Note:
A complete rear LED conversion
requires 2 sets of LED conversion
kits, Brake and Signal.
This is the LED array insert for one bulb replacement.
This image was generated in low level lighting, not

Design Concept
The LED taillight conversions are designed for
1971 through 1974, Pre-L and L-Model Pantera
standard taillight housings. The LED arrays
consist of high performance industrial grade
LED's, as much as 20 times the optical power of
the LEDs used in universal bulb base
replacement types. The LED arrays meet or
exceed the SAE illumination specifications for
automotive signal lamps, yet consume only 50%
the power of the 1157 incandescent lamps. The
electronics on each LED panel controls the
current to the LEDs and converts the electrical
signals from the Pantera wiring harness to imitate
the incandescent lamp function. The original
incandescent lamps are removed and the panels
are inserted in the reflector pockets of the
housing. In this design the light is diffused filling
the lens, generating both straight and wide angle
light emission. This is superior to the after-market
bulb replacement LED's which only emit light
from a central location. The LED arrays are
designed for each section of the taillight and are
available by function and color. The brake
sections are always red, the turn signal sections
can be red or amber. The amber or red turn
signal have scrolling turn signal illumination,
sweeping illumination from inboard to outboard
part of the lens gives the turn signal a directional
appearance.
Note that the LED turn signals require electronic flashers to
operate properly, the original Pantera flasher will not
operate properly.
Pantera Electronics flasher AF-xx can be used with any
combination of incandescent lamps or LEDs.
