^^^--Just Kidding

Those look great. I think that might just be the next think I do.

 

[Bill Kemp]

OK, I just ordered some of the 57LEDs bulbs in amber 3157.
Will let you know about brightness in the next couple of days.

^ Do you have to run an inline load resistor with those?

 

[Bill Kemp]

I would think so. I dont want the quick flashing and I do still have the resistors from when I tried some a couple of yrs. ago. Just hope I can find them.....

Mike, do you need that short corner trim piece on your Limited? My 99 was that color to start with, and I may have that still. I ended up with two pairs, I can't remember which didn't get painted.

I'll look into those lights soon for my 98, thanks for the link.

How much brighter/different is the 57 LED light compared to the 28 LED light? Did anyone ask them that?

for those interested....

Can't you just use a non mechanical flasher? I have an all electronic flasher and it doesn't do the hyperflash when I hook up my trailer.. The only downside I have found is that it doesn't hyperflash when a bulb is out, but I wouldn't think it would if you used a resister pack either.

Well, sorta. I think I-M said it was brighter than the regular bulbs. Which would make it brighter than the 28LED bulbs. I'll let you know in a few days after I get them.

MANIAK I dont know what kind of flasher I have or what I would need as I do pull a trlr. and what I have now works great. Since I (think) already have the resistors I'm gonna go that way.

I hope you enjoyed all that work...

they do the same thing unfortunately... only work I did was some clicking

I ordered a set of these lamps to test as backup lights.

They arrived today and I installed tonight. I was very dissapointed with the light output. It was not even close to my current bulbs.

See for yourself. The driver;s side is the new LED lamp and the passenger side is my current lamps.

you cant even see it lol

 

[aldive]

you cant even see it lol

So true. I am very unpleased with the LED lamp.

 

[BrooklynBay]

Does the seller offer a refund?

 

[shortstack]

i'm gonna do this mod with these led's maybe only 4 or 6 on each side.

just one of these led's will do 8250,000 MCD

thats the problem with alot of the ebay led automotive, they have a "bunch" of little 3mm that dont put out hardly anything you need to look for the "high power" 3157 or 3156 ones like this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Pair...005QQitemZ150193291017QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

btw just to note u can use a 3157 for a 3156 socket

haha theres a point proven... those others will def help somewhat, but u never know what ur buying... when ur doing ur own custom board and u have the ratings of all the LEDs already listed, u kno what reliability ur getting

I just bought and installed the same 57 led lights.

Don't have the pics off my camera yet but with some visual tests compared to the old stock bulb my opinion is that the color of light is different which makes it appear brighter when looking at it versus the stock bulb... BUT.. the stock bulb throws more light.. this was tested by holding a book equal distance from both and being able to read via the stock bulb, but not the new 57 LED.

What kind of bulb do you have in the non LED side in the pic aldive? It looks like a much more drastic difference than I had..

 

[aldive]

Yes, the LED is whiter.

 

[dennis67]

eek.. just took the pics of my camera, apparently I should have taken them outside of the garage.. too close..
left is led, right is stock, 5 year old bulb..

 

[shortstack]

his picture has a flash and it look like yours didn't.
