Debating on who to buy lights from for the new car. I may splurge and pick up everything except the reverse lights for now. I also didn't realize how simple it is to pull down the map console for light replacement.

 

Wow that's weird. I say bad batch, that's all I can figure.

 

Yea I thought it to be bizarre...
I had to put the old stock ones back in- cuz people would start seizin out they blink so fast now.
That stock yellow is gross.

 

Lethal's look alright, as far as color goes, but they light up less than stock, that kinda sucks man. Shipping was stupid expensive too, ended up paying like $38 to my door with high hopes. Don't waste your time or money. If you want blue/white color, get them, but know they'll put out like 1/2 the light.

 

I'm just questioning the quality of some over the other. Are the Recon's any better than the VLED or SBL bulbs? I know in the past I've usually had to buy 1-2 more of each 194 style bulb from SBL because they burn out (which seems almost unheard of for an LED).

I'm debating giving the Recon ones a shot and seeing how they perform compared to the others. Probably just going to order the dome lights and lic. plate ones for now, then pick up the trunk light from V-LEDs for now.Backup bulbs will come later.

 

Does anybody have these on for the reverse lights? I wonder if they are brighter than the LED's I bought on eBay.

They say it is their brightest reverse bulbs on the market...

 

From my experience the LEDs are not bright enough in the day time to provide adequate light. You definitely want them to be clearly visible so people know you are backing up. The risk isn't worth the reward, IMO. Just my 2 cents.

 

I know I'm digging up a post from the past but did you ever have any luck with your license plate bulbs? I ordered a set from Amazon, got them one of the two was bad out of the package. They sent a replacement bulb and it too was bad and I noticed that the one that was working was bad now too. The stock bulbs work fine so I'm wondering if it's not some sort of current issue causing these LED's to fail so quickly. That or it's just typical poor quality China electrical crap.

Maybe the ones from Amazon are poor quality. I haven't had any trouble with mine.

 

I've got the same ones that 2010MustangGT pictured and no luck. Where did you get yours? Do you remember the brand name?

The link is in the original post, they are from superbrightleds.com.

 

I got mine from SD Mustang Accessories. They work flawlessly.

Best customer service out of a vendor too!

 

For the Plate bulbs mine were acting up like crazy... not sure on the root cause. But I did notice that everytime the car started, they'd dim a healthy 50% and flicker and then stay on. Maybe that caused wear on it?

I switched to 3710-xHP3- it's a tighter fit and the light output is a lot higher (So I have it turned so that's it's almost facing up...) But i haven't had a problem for over 5 months now.
