    There is a fairly easy swap you can do with a couple of relays to add a motorcycle battery (or sealed equivalent) in such a way that it sits in parallel to the car battery most of the time but when you send the brake light signal it runs in series with the car battery to make 12+ volts to the lights. Add real lights to your hearts content

    I don't have a pic from the other side. The manifold is an Edelbrock and the carbs are Stromberg 97's.

    In reply to pinchvalve:

    That's an Offy head, not valve cover, the valves are in the block. The heads are pretty simple since the valvetrain is all down below, it's just a dish forming the top of the combustion chamber, a spark plug, and the bolts holding it all together.

    Led light bulbs have a longer rated life than fluorescent and Incandescent bulbs. They last around 130 times longer than Incandescent bulbs and 10 times longer than compact fluorescent bulbs.

    Use as many LEDs as you need to get the right light output.

    Keep in mind, LEDs have non-adjustable focal points. The right choice in respect to them is just as important as any others.
