Get Blinking: Thermal Turn Signal & Hazard Flashers
Are your turn signals stuck "Solid On" or blinking rapidly? The Flasher Unit is a simple thermal relay that controls the blink rate. On vintage cars, you cannot use modern electronic flashers without losing the audible "click-clack" sound.
Vintage Specifics
-
552 & 536 Series: We stock the classic round metal thermal flashers (2-prong and 3-prong) that work with the resistance of incandescent bulbs.
-
6-Volt Flashers: Essential for pre-1955 cars. A 12V flasher will not work in a 6V system!
-
Hazard vs. Turn: Ensure you get the correct load rating for your specific circuit.
Sockets, Pigtails & Lenses: Vintage Lighting Repair
A burnt-out bulb is easy to fix, but what if the socket itself is corroded? Lamp Parts are the structural components of your lighting system. Rusty sockets and frayed "pigtail" wires are the leading cause of dim or flickering tail lights.
Repair Your Original Housings Instead of buying expensive reproduction housings, repair your originals with our:
-
Sockets & Pigtails: Single and double contact sockets (1157/1156 style) to splice into your harness.
-
Lenses & Gaskets: Replacement red/amber plastics and cork gaskets to seal out water.
-
Buckets: Metal housings for headlights and tail lights.
Light Up the Night: Vintage 6V & 12V Bulbs
You can't buy 6-volt bulbs at the gas station anymore. At Old Car Parts NW, we keep the inventory needed for pre-1955 restorations and modern classics alike.
Know Your Voltage
-
6-Volt: Hard-to-find bulbs for early Fords, Chevys, and Tractors.
-
Sealed Beams: Original glass T3 and Tung-Sol style sealed beam headlights for that period-correct curved glass look.
-
Miniature Bulbs: Dash lights (1895, 57), tail lights (1157, 1034), and dome lights.
