Upgrade Your Old School Ride w/ Amazon LED Bulbs & Headlights | 71 BUICK SKYLARK CONVERTIBLE A-body

I’ve been doing this type of LED upgrade in my old school rides for quite some time now. Can be cheaper in the long run. It’s also fairly easy and pretty much plug-n-play.

They look really nice!!! I’m ordering the whole setup for my 1970 OLDS Cutlass

[@MrGriffin23]

Thanks and thats Dope! Keep me posted!

[@aliyusuf1541]

I’m doing the same for my 70 lemans. Good stuff man 🤝

[@williambrooks7727]

i have a 1971 Buick GS convertible and will look to follow your lead. I am partial to the old school look but I am liking the daytime running option.

[@MrGriffin23]

Thanks for chiming in. You won’t be disappointed if you do decide to upgrade. The visibility and coverage is so much better.

[@mikeappel5389]

Hey rhanks for putting up the bulbs i been looking for the front setup and the backup lights they look good wish i could send you video i went with rgb headlights though way more focus of light

[@MrGriffin23]

You are welcome! I hope it all works out for you!

[@MrGriffin23]

All Good!

[@erongli6681]

Did u have any issues with your turn signal flasher?

[@MrGriffin23]

Have to use an LED flasher. If that doesn’t fully work you can add resistors.

[@rogerbelcher2981]

Video is two yesrs old now how are they working now

[@MrGriffin23]

Perfect! No issues!

[@brightcreep1]

Hello, I have a 72 cutlass. I wanted to use these lights but it looks like the base of the LED lights are different from my current bulbs. The base of my current bulbs are flat instead of round like these. Any suggestions??

[@MrGriffin23]

I think the LEDS are built & installed in the housing. I’m not sure if they can be changed. I’d look bit I’ve since sold the car.

[@edjuanwarren5904]

Where did you buy those side mirrors?

[@MrGriffin23]

You should!

[@mmjaimesr]

Super clean. Buying my 71 Camaro next week. Definitely want to upgrade the lights

[@MrGriffin23]

Awesome! You won’t regret it!

What flashers did u use

[@MrGriffin23]

LED

[@JB-yc5gc]

Great video. How long have they lasted, and did you need a resistor for any of the bulbs?

[@MrGriffin23]

Thank you! I have since sold the car to a friend and they are still going strong. No resistor was needed for my set-up. However, my buddy in the video did need them for his car.

[@KoolFredsGarage]

Nice ride!

[@MrGriffin23]

Thank you!

[@rickeysmith3666]

great video very helpful i am setting up my 1970 gs,that dash for your gauges is cool where did you get that thanks a lot

[@MrGriffin23]

Thanks for watching! Glad it helped. I got it from the junk yard. Lol! Out of a 92 S10 Blazer.

[@t.winston1520]

Did you have to modify your headlight housing or did they fit right in? The lights look great!

[@MrGriffin23]

No sir! Fit right in!

[@Dr0BoI]

Braddah, was It straight plug and play for the led lights or did u run into issues? (For the bulbs)

[@MrGriffin23]

Straight plug in.

[@Dr0BoI]

@@MrGriffin23 right on. I was confused cus u linked a flasher. Is that needed? Sorry I’m new to this appreciate yo channel fr 💯🤙🏽

[@MrGriffin23]

@@Dr0BoI Yes you need a LED Flasher due to the polarity being different.

[@Dr0BoI]

@@MrGriffin23 right on bro again I’m new to this. Where is the flasher located? Is it behind the dash?

[@Dr0BoI]

@@MrGriffin23 or is it on the bottom left behind the emergency brake on fuse housing?

Hello where did You buy this mirrors with turn signal ??

[@MrGriffin23]

Yes! From Summit Racing.

[@SusieMike]

Looks great! I’m doing my ‘68 Corvair because the lights are so dim. My question (that would make a good video) is how to adjust where they point with the adjusters. Thanks

[@MrGriffin23]

Thank you! Easy enough. All you do is turn the headlights on and have the car facing a wall or flat surface. Stay about 30 feet out from wall. You will see how they line up against the wall and this just adjust accordingly.

[@SusieMike]

@@MrGriffin23 Thank you, but I still need to know - should they be level or point down (some)? Should they point slightly to the right?

[@KLR1ST1]

Thank you for the complete detail install and product info.. I just completed my 71 gs 455 convertible and it looks awesome.. I need that dash bro..

[@MrGriffin23]

All good! Awesome! Congrats! I got that dash from a 89-94 S10 Blazer out the junkyard and wired it in.

[@williambrooks7727]

I have a 71 Buick GS and started the installation... I believe I have blown my flasher. Did you run into any issues?

[@kennethlewis80]

Do you have a video of the blazerc10 dash install?

Yes, I have more a a detailed video in my history where I did one in a Gbody Turbo Regal.
