Replace your center brake light with an LED one! You'll never worry about burned out bulbs again...

I replaced mine when I did the all three with the brake lights mod over the summer. I had enough of those bulbs sitting around anyway and put them to good use. The factory ones were already a little black anyway.

I must be behind the times on bulbs. Please explain the LED bulbs. I know what an LED is I didn't know they were available in our style bulbs.

now this is the direction I kinda thought/hoped this thread would go in
I did do a before and after dyno run. The new bulb showed no gains at all.

if you pull all your bulbs out, don't you get more spark voltage?

Ford Racing offered one at one time or another. It is made by Eagle Eyes and replaces the factory junker with a red reflector and LED insert.

Last time I took it to the dealership for regular (unnecessary) maintenance, I remember one of the technicians mentioning the "right side", as if when something had to blow up it would do it on the right side first. He's obviously seen more Mustangs than I have but now try to make sense of that

Does anyone know where I can find a center brake light using LEDs but looks like a normal brake light? I saw one that has a clear lens with red LEDs and chrome reflectors. I am looking for a red lens and about seven or so LEDs.
