Any way you can take a piture of 1 light with the new bulbs, and 1 light with the factory bulbs? Just trying to see how much brighter they are for the money.

Also FBM - Are the 3157 Cob bulbs red or white?

Will take a picture of different bulbs side by side and each side of the car.

The COB bulbs are white. Red COB bulbs are very expensive... more that 2x's the cost of white.

I can get red ones but they are more than twice the price. Just use white.

Are the running lights located in the lowest part of the bumper ?
What location are the front cornering lights ?
Do the front cornering lights stay on all the time ?

The running lights are in the front and are part of the turn signal assembly. The 3157 bulbs are dual bulbs... running lights and turn signals.

The cornering lights are just behind and to the side of the front turn signals.

The cornering lights are only illuminated when the lights are on and the turn signals are operating.

FYI... the lights in the lowest part of the bumper are the fog lights.

Due to the light spectrum/wavelength difference between LEDs and regular bulbs you don't want to use white for stop/tail.

White LED behind red lens = orange light.

For red light you need red LED.

Amber lens use amber LED.

Which color LED should I use?


For the most vivid color and best results the LED color should be the same as the lens color. If a white LED is used behind a red lens some of the visible light is filtered out and the light will have a pink tint to it. If a white LED is used behind an amber lens the output will be higher and the color will be bright yellow.

Hey Jim,
Chip Auten (Windsor58) from Colorado here.
Are you still selling these? I'm interested in a set of tail/brake lights. Ive seen lights advertised that strobe a few times and then light solid on brake application. Do you sell any like that?
I would be interested in red leds and understand they are much more expensive. Im willing to pay more for red if they are available.
Also, are you still selling replacement crossover tube plugs? Mine has a little corrosion on the bottom so I'd like to replace it.
Thanks,
Chip
