Finally found a LED bulb for tail light

[Firefly]

Did you also get the marker LEDs lights from Pep boys?
And what is the part # for these?

I wouldn't get them - tried them and they were DULL compared to some regular Amber bulbs I installed.

I have some from that e-bay guy on order (star rotors) for $7.00 - will let you know how they work.

Those were my first set. They were brighter but only lasted 3 month
if these do not last I will look into brightled.com
I have no problem with brighteness of set from pepboys

Looks like a load equalizer may also be required.

 

[rleathen]

Hey Ferno I would prefer an all in one type solution like the Pilot Automotive LED bulb as opposed to the two part solution of a Kuryakyn LED bulb and a load equalizer. Having said that if there is great difficulty in source the Pilot Automotive LED bulbs here in Canada then I may consider the Kuryakyn solution or the NMN solution.

 

[RoadHammer]

I ordered the nmn triple play yesturday, but that only covers super bright turn signals, at any rate it would be great to find a drop in bulb for the brake lights... I will keep searching. I have an old school buddy that has a speed shop... he can get anything...

 

[RoadHammer]

so basically the pilot bulb has a load equalizer built in right?

 

[rleathen]

Hey Ferno I have the NMN Triple Play along with the NMN center brake light add-on. You will not go wrong ordering this product. Install was very easy and is an extremely well built product. Support from NMN is also the best around. The triple play most definitely does improve your visibility from the rear 10 fold. I will eventually get the mud flap lights and the front mirror lights from NMN. The only real challenge for me is that being in Canada we get dinged incredible amounts for shipping and customs. Because of this if there is a drop in solution for the brake lights light the Pilot Automotive LEDs and they are available in Canada I would be going this route, for at least the brake lights.

 

[rleathen]

Ferno based on the product info I was able to find on the internet it does look as though the Pilot Auto LED bulb has the load balancer built into it. At least this is what the product literature tends to lead you to believe.

Ya.... duty.... I get slaughtered every time I order something for the spyder. ordered the green filter, juice box, triple play... not looking forward to duty fees..
