<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="color:#3333ff">When I ordered the bulbs from Moss I asked the associate if they would work in a 100 as its tail light lenses are much flatter than those for later cars and he assured me that they would. In fact LED bulb is about 5/16" taller than the incandescent bulb and it will not fit under the present lens. My choices are to either find a shorter LED or go to the later rounded glass lens as used in BN/BT cars. I am hoping to go with the first option.<br><br>BTW since I have previously transferred my turn signal function to separate electrified reflector pods I now realize that I do not at this time need to install the ballasts since there will be no flasher function for the bulb--merely side and brake function only. But since I will probably next replace the front bulbs and those in the electrified pods with LED's the ballasts will not go to waste. <br><br>Thanks all for your patience....<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Dec 24, 2019 at 12:52 PM Michael MacLean <<a href="mailto:rrengineer.mike@att.net" target="_blank">rrengineer.mike@att.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif;font-size:16px"><div></div>
