Here is a dumb question .. will the Pantera wiring take these? Do they draw more amps than the stock ones?

Grasshopper, there are no dumb questions when one is seeking knowledge.

LED bulbs draw much LESS amperage than incandescent bulbs. So the wiring will be just fine.

BUT, the stock flasher unit requires a certain amount of amperage to be flowing in the bulb circuit to create the flashing action.

Install too many LED bulbs and you will likely see the flasher no longer flashing.

To avoid this, you need to upgrade your flasher unit.

By the way.....

Those of us with early cars use the 4-contact Bosch flasher unit. These units are now quite rare and expensive, IF you can even find one.

Should your early 4-contact flasher ever go DOA, using the Pantera Electronics unit is the easy solution, whether you use LED bulbs or not.
