Titanium7 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Reading the post on poor LED brake light bulbs (I have them) I am going to try some red filament bulbs. I'm at work with a motor factors next door. Are they the combined brake and tail bulbs or just the single filament brake bulb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elie boone Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 It's not the bulb that u can improve on but the reflector witch you can improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rj Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I have fitted something like - not exactly the same though - this: here inside the light cluster - wired in parallel with the brake light. Made a huge difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Lef Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 RJ Thanks for the info. I've had a look and will probably pick a few up, it can only help! Would you by any chance have any pics of a before or and after moment? Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingnutLP Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 You coud try these http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/380-Super-Bright-60-LED-Bulb.html When I bought my car it had these http://www.sevenspeed.co.uk/collections/lighting/products/360-led-stop-tail-light-bulb in fact ones with even less led's of the same design. These have 13 leds the ones in the link above have 60 and are much brighter than filament bulbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are these like for like swaps for incandescent bulbs or do you have to do something else? Thanks Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian B Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 The issue with load resistors affects the indicators only, and is due to the standard flasher unit requiring a decent load to operate properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
