With apologies to OP for hijacking his LED thread: Doug - there is no admission fee to tour an empty garage; feel free to come down anytime. Wiggie knows the way by heart – maybe you guys can car pool. I’ll keep the lights on for ya.

John – I happen to be the current custodian of a Series III OTS that last ran under its own in 1992? 93? It was stripped to bare metal, dents/rust repaired and primered. Likely needs a little attention to - - - about everything.
Assuming these blokes are booked when you have Ye Grande Openinge––I’m thinking @Erica_Moss could do the lead guitar parts, and we can all help install LED turn signals in the Riv…
So. If I am following this correctly, if I change out the rear stop, turn, running lights and the back up light and not have to change either flasher unit? is that correct?
When I went to LED bulbs I first replaced the rear turn/stop/taillight bulbs leaving the fronts as incandescent bulbs. Those incandescent front bulbs provided enough resistance to allow the stock flasher to function properly. So the answer to your question is, “Yes, it worked for me”.
When I replaced the front turn signal bulbs with LEDs the stock flasher couldn’t handle the low resistance. I tried various flashers that were suppose to work with LED bulbs, No joy, so I added the resistance thingies I found at Walmart to the front turn signal bulbs.
Yes, they cause a slightly higher amp draw but big deal. In the course of driving the turn signals aren’t on much, unless you’re the old man I follow down the interstate.
The backup lights play no part in whether the turn signals need load resistors or a new flasher, so no worries there.
Bill, you would have to change out the flasher and hazard flasher if there are no incandescent bulbs left. Or wire in the load resistor that John W. did. To me, using a correct flasher is less headache, but my opinion only
