Concerned about LED's on Stock tailgihts

concerned about something, do you think that putting LED bulbs on stock tailights would make a difference in brightness or will they be the same? Cause I got a 94 X and you know the don't sell alteezas for earlier model Explorers and I don't like the clear tailights, and also cause they're illegal here in Virginia? But anyways would they make a difference in Brightness just to put them on on stock red tailights?? Let me know guys. Thanks

are the 3157's the turn signal bulbs? I'm looking for amber LED's for the turnsignals in my clear corners...

 

[alphasylum]

Yes your indicators are the 3157 bulbs.
Check out these multiple auctions on eBay
for Amber LED 3157's.

thanks.. i was going to bid on one of those.....nobody bid against me... .... by the way...there are 2 amber bulbs in the corners..are they both the same bulb?

 

[alphasylum]

Yes...so you would need 4.

 

[TarHeel085]

WAIT, arent there 6?? i thought (for some reason) that there were 3 in each signal.

 

[NC-X]

I think each corner has 2 of the 3157 bulbs and one of the smaller 194/168 bulbs.

LEDs do not burn out quickly.

They have a faster reaction time than conventional bulbs.

They do not produce much heat.

Tarheal...NC-X is right....

it's like this from looking head on


(194)(3157)---------------(3157)(194)
(3157)(9007)-------------(9007)(3157)

alphasylum-

do u have the LEDs in your X? If so, how do u like em?

 

[alphasylum]

I'll let you know when they arrive,
I did a buy now on eBay.

I can't wait to see how they are,
and how my clears will look during the
day w/ NO AMBER!!!!!

 

[TarHeel085]

ok i didnt know what the numbers were, i was just pretty sure there were 3 in each side.

alphasylum: did you get your LED's yet... i got mine and i must say i am rather dissapointed..they are very dim...you almost can't see them blink....anyone else have LED's and have that problem? is that how they are supposed to be? i thought they would be brighter than my other lights

I just got my AMBER LED's the other day and they suck! Not that they are dim but most of the light that you see normally is reflected off the back of the housing. The led's only project straight out so they suck. they look bright when you look at them outside of the housing. Now put then in the lense housing and they look dim and suck. I say stick with cool looking color bulbs!
