    I broke down and ordered a BUNCH of lights from here. As doing a prior post on similar replacements, I am impressed with these. The focal length of the side firing leds is different than the first LED's I tested as is the focal length of the forward facing. Thus, hitting the reflector of the housing more in a "Sweet Spot" making the whole thing much brighter than those mentioned in my first review.

    I replaced the brake/parking lights, F/R turn signals, F/R side markers, horn lights and the rear view mirror lights. I did get a replacement for the dome light but will not use it as it didn't put out enough light for my liking. I decided to match the color of the LED to the lens after experimenting with some super bright white LED's that I already had. I didn't care for the "purplish" underlying color the white LED's created as it seemed to wash out the color of the lens, especially the amber lens.

    My favorite part is the instant on, instant off of the LED's rather than the "ramp" of normal bulbs.

    The second favorite part is the price, these replacements are well within lower budgets compared to the ones in my first review however, their proces have dropped dramatically since that review.

    To make the turns work without having to change out flashers which doesn't always work, they also sell in line resistors to create a draw on the circuit comparative to regular bulbs.

    The only con is the LED's still do not produce the "Glow" of an incandescant but these are IMHO pretty darned close to the same brightness.

    I'll be able to show these off along with the new HID's in Moab and if there is enough interest, I may become a distributor for the company allowing for a good discount from what I already paid.

    Thanks! Tone!
