I'm a little late to the party but I was curious if ZieglerSpeed ever got his pinion bolt out from about 5 years ago!! LOL!! Actually I was reading about the rear end swaps and I was curious why I never hear anything about the Mopar 9 1/4". I found this interesting piece in Hemmings Motor News...

The 2 things that I dislike the most about my '79 LeBaron is the front end and the Landau roof! The turn signal lights above the headlights reminds me of Grizwald's car in the "Vacation" movie and the front bumper looks like it belongs on a pickup truck! Just day dreamin' I pictured a '70 'Cuda...

Howdy gang! I bought some roof rail seals a while back (over 5 years ago) for my '79 2 door LeBaron. I haven't installed them yet because I wanted to wait until I get the car painted so I can't speak to the quality. The seals are still in their sealed packaging and are still very soft. The...

Thanx JW!!

Looking at that last picture from left to right, the first bulb fits into the orange wire socket and then fits into the metal tube(s) on the back of the headlight switch and the back of the wiper switch. That bulb is generic, purchased in a 20 pack from TEMU for less than $3, 12V WHITE LED LIGHT...

Here's some pics. The sockets that I had trouble with LEDs blowin' fuses have an orange wire connected to them. The new "cheapies" I got from Temu fit and they work. They're not quite as bright as the others but they do work and honestly, I'm tired of screwin' with it!!

I'll post a pic of the new LED bulb that works and fits into the metal tubes on the switch housings. I've put the switches back in but the screws are loose so it takes nothing to drop them back out and take some pics.

The pig tailed sockets that I got would've worked fine if I was to cut off the metal tubes and make sure the hole that was left was 1/2" diameter. The rubber sockets fit like a rubber grommet. However, I got the new bulbs from Temu and did not have to modify the switch housings.

I got a 3rd but different style of bulb from Temu and it works in the plastic socket and fits into the metal tubes. There are 3 plastic sockets that fit into metal tubes. the headlight "title" lamp, the windshield wiper "title" lamp and the ashtray illumination lamp. I don't smoke and I don't...

That reminds me, the "change oil soon" warning popped on in my Jeep the other day. Just what I need! Another project!!

LMFAO!!! My stepmom used to refer to it as the "Replace Engine Soon" light!!

Thanx Aspen!! I think I found some twist style 194 sockets with pigtails. I have one more test I wanna do before I start ordering them and start modifying the spots where I'll need them!

It's obvious that I don't know how to do "quotes" yet!! LOL!!

Why does the fuse only blow with the newer (far right) LED but not the other LED (center)? when I'm saying far right and center I'm referring to first pics of the 3 different lights.

So the white LED (center) seems to work fine in all of the 194 sockets. The problem is that style's diameter is to big to fit into the metal tubular opening on the back of the headlight, wiper and possibly the ash tray light. This caused me to buy a different LED with a smaller diameter to fit...

I'm having an issue trying to convert my '79 Le Baron's dash lights from 194 incandescent bulbs to LED.

I'm only about 4 years late to the conversation but this topic interests me because it is exactly what I wanted to do on my '79 LeBaron. I often thought, "Why did Chrysler put a huge fuel gauge that's the same size as the speedometer and right next to it? Is this so you can see the gas gauge go...

It sounds like your plan is fairly aggressive! Are you doing the welding? That's a skill I don't have. Having disc brakes in the rear is something That I also would like to have someday. Right now I have my dash all apart trying to replace the incandescent dash lights with LED bulbs and it has...

Fingers crossed and prayers go out to you and your husband!

I'm just a few years off from the conversation but, I have a '79 300 (Cordoba) which is a 'B' body. Does this mean I could replace the 7.25 rear in my LeBaron with the 9.25 from the 300 without any major modifications?

Which brings me to my next conundrum! Anyone know where I can get windshield wiper/washer switch for a '79 LeBaron? There are a few on ebay but I think the sellers are holding them for ransom! The cheapest one I seen would be around $50 after shipping and tax!! I think the Mopar part number is...

I'm afraid I'm not much help there, Volare but my problem is just the opposite on my '79 LeBaron. If I set them on delay they work fine but if I have them set on low or high and shut them off, they do not park! They are vertical on the glass! I have a '79 300 (Cordoba) that I bought as a drive...

Thanx Mike! I'll quit wondering!!LOL!
