LED Bulb Replacements... the Review Thread!
#1
I'm going to be switching my car over to LED's over the next while. I will be posting comments, reviews and links as I go.

Taillight Replacement (#3157/LL):
- Eurolite LED 3157/4157 RED Drop-in replacements
Price: $7.99/ea @ Canadian Tire
Review:
Brightness? Bright enough, yes.
Directionality? Far too directional for use in a rear reflector. You just can't see them from any angle but straight back.
Pics:
... I'll upload pics tomorrow, but chances are these buggers are going back.

The "perfect LED" for 3157?

- LED 3157 "39 LED" RED Drop-in replacements.
Price: 40$/pair (exorbitant shipping to cover costs...)
Review
... I'll review these once I get the balls to order a pair. 40$ is a lot...
Pics:
... again, if I order a pair, y'all'l be the first to see pics.

2-1W LED Replacement for 6411/6418 (Centre Dome / License Plate)
Price: 2.03$/ea Shipped
[Image: ViewPicture.aspx?Key=b623b5af-7c3b-4350-...=300&W=400]
Review
NOTE: Only ordered 1 because I'm comparing between the 2-LED or the 6-SMD-LED versions. I'll order one of those next. If I like it, I may just order one more of the same one.
Brightness:
Directionality:

The 194 (side marker) is a bit of a mixed bag online. They're all cheap, but it's tough to tell which has the highest output.

For now, I'm going to order a pair of the cheap white ones rated at 240,000MCD:

and
http://cgi.ebay.ca/2pcs-T10-W5W-168-194-...2eae6bfaea
... and if those suck, I'll try these:

... Anyone else who's had successful ebay (or online store, or local store) hunting for LED's, Feel free to jump in with your review & photos.

Expect to see me back in a week or two once my Chinese wares reach Canadian Soil! :-)
