LED bulbs that really work.

I just did my clear corners and thought they would look good with some LED bulbs. I have never found any LED bulbs that were comparable in brightness with incandescent bulbs until now. Here are a few pics. Check them out.

Thats also where I got mine. And the pictures dont show it but the LED's are Yellow. I also ordered brake lights and rear turn signal LED bulbs but they are from eBay.

How you like the corner you bought from me?????
Yeah white for the front would look nice, and the red would be bomb for the rear brake lights and clear for turns in the rear.

I have the LEDs for the turn signal and it makes the blinker speed up. Its annoying and I cant stand it. So in the end I dont think it is really worth it for me.

Yeah, the turn signal is really fast now. But I like it. If fit becomes a problem there are a few solutions to take care of that.

Did I buy a corner from you Sleeper? I dont remember :oops:
I made my corners from some OEM lights from eBay. I'm hoping the stop lights will be as bright as the corners.

to make the blinker speed normal u need to buy a resistor for each turn signal, also in the long term you might face electrical problems/shortages - i did in my previous car
