i bought the autoluminations one that flashes ~5 times before holding solid.

$20.00 ish shipped I believe.

their regular ones are cheaper. ordered, got it in 3 days.

i tried LED bulbs for the brake lights. the one i had was 60 LED. the running light was fine, but the light when the brake was activated was not bright enough.

i would like to find LEDs that perform better than the stock ones. for now, i will stick with the stock bulbs.

here is the one i bought. it was a 2 pack. i ended up returning them.

here are the before-after pics. the first pic is with no light on (obviously). the next 2 are the stock incadecent bulb with/without brake applied. the last two with the 60 LED bulb with/without brake applied.


if someone has some that are brighter than the stock bulbs, i would be really interested to know which one it is.

lol. i just cycled through the pics. you can see the yellow plastic bag moving around from the wind.
