LED have a lot to recommend them. Very bright, and very small. You can get flasher units for LED's on line so no problem with load and flash rate. I've fitted out a standard trail board with LED's for the back of the Dodge. It can be fitted and of course just unhooked if you don't want it at a show.

Having done a CJ3b I think yours is a nice looking machine! You might like to consider putting sidelight equipped 7 inch units in the headlamp positions, then put clear lenses on the old sidelights but with orange bulbs in and wire these to the indicators.

 

The back is a little trickier, but a pair of small LED indicators can be mounted discretely on the back somewhere (just under the bumper bar would be ideal.
