    APC "IcyHot" LEDs

    Long story short -

    Wanted LED taillights. Advanced Auto + 4 bulbs. Part # 504051B.

    "For bulbs No.1157 - Red Illumination."

    Put em in, they work. Weeks later, get "Rear Bulb", some work, some dont. Take em out.

    Dug em out recently, wanted to see about putting em back in. Only 2 worked, so i hit up AutoZone and picked up 2 more.

    However....the new ones light up differently and are even shaped differently as well. Part #'s match.

    I could just go back to AZ and pick up 2 more, Im just curious if anyone else has run into this?

    The old ones were more of a pronounced cone. The new ones are a sleeker cone. Old ones lit up in a "Y" pattern, new ones are all lit.

    Also, would red be better or white? I want them to be bright, but i dont want a pink look.....

      For best output LED manufactures say go with the same color bulb as the lens.
      wat?

        Ok, good. Cuz i got red now.

        Well, i went back to AutoZone, and they didnt have the "Icy Hot", they had a bew brand called "JamStrait".

        Theyre shaped the exact same and light up the same....

        Also picked up a new air filter and amber LEDs for my corners.

              I'll get days here in just a few. And nights.....tonight.

              The first 2(APCs) i wanna say were like $6-$9 each. The new ones(JamStrait) were sold in pairs and they were $16.xx.

              The 194 corner bulbs also came as pairs and they were like $11.

              So, pics to come. I guess i could go ahead and post up the day pics now and the nights later tonight.

                  Um...ive only been running the outer 2 lately. Now that i got the inside ones in, i'll see what it does. Theyre not the suggested 3157(or whatever) so i'll se of they throw a sensor or not.

                    2057 is the suggested.

                    LMK how this goes because I might go pick some up real soon. I'm interested in daylight output.
                    wat?

                      2057, 3157...whatever. as long as its a xx57

                      My cell phone sucks and we have a bit of an overcast(rain) so the mid-evening pics didnt come out. Well, they came out, but the only thing that looks different is that they come on quicker when the brake is applied. Ill wait until it gets completely dark and take some, then i'll try and take some mid-day pics tomorrow.

                      From what i saw in a few building reflections, when the brake is applied during the day, all you can really see is a dot. Like the actual bulb. The whole light doesnt light up.

                      Crude example, I know, but night time light is like this, almost like regular "non-LED" output:
                      [:::|:::] == [:::|:::]

                      Daytime is like this:
                      [ o | o ] == [ o | o ]



                      Ill put pics up here in a while.

                        C91, I would recommend it. I didnt have any fitment issues and they light up nicely. Much better than previous LED bulbs. If you have the means and an extra $40, pick some up.
