LED Tails
Got some L1224rs and a Lexus third brake light from Jp7 this week, heres the installed pics. These things are super bright and so consistent with the light, look great.
First pic is just the running lights, shows how dark my garage was
Now this is the brake lights, you can see how much brighter they are
And this is how much the light up my garage, its insane
Close up shot of the tails

I'll check them out at the meet. I hate to spend that much on 2 bulbs, but I may need to. Did you get any for your reverse lights?

I got some 63 LED backup lights but they are to long for the 06 housing so I'm returning them for some 53 ones. I'll get comparison pics

I wanna see those reverse LEDs. I have been looking at getting some because I want something brighter than the stock bulbs.

Guys:
I don't really think its a matter of the LED's being bright, its just a matter of being able to correctly use the reflector. L1224R's do a good job of this. The plugin "VLED" style LED's don't do as good a job. This is why everyone is happy with the L1224R.
Now the BEST mod, would be to take apart the tail light or headlight, and put LEDs firing outwards like a ray of light, so that the LEDs shoot directly at the person viewing it. This would need no reflectors at all (I saw it on a hyundai with LED amber turn signals) This is what I'm going to do with my Evo. My turnsignals on my Evo tails are so skinny but wide, and the VLED plugins I have in there are not as good.
This is the LED mod I want... "dafarmer" is a much better LED guru than I ever am!
