1157 pigtail for license plate light

Question

We just purchased a 1988 Elite and as I was checking things out I found the license plate light was connected to a pigtail coming out of the 1157 bulb. Now all is well and good but the wiring is frayed and will soon need replaced. I would also like to replace these old bulbs with LED. Does anyone know where I can find a similar pigtail setup coming out of the bulb?

Thanks!!
Sam

Also, most auto parts stores have "stuff" often in a section called HELP! which is part of Dorman Products. You might have good luck there.

You need to be careful replacing turn signals with LED.....as they usually will flash too fast without a new flasher or the addition of a resistor.

I personally think that is a waste of time and money as the 1157's do a fine job. Getting new fresh 1157s and cleaning out the sockets and lenses would probably accomplish more.

As said above, you use LEAds to save power, how much power do you use with a turn signal. 1157 bulb won't kill your battery while your turning a corner.
