About LEDs...

I just bought 2 pairs of LEDs for $10 a pair
they're the kind that is like 4 bulbs together, so it is "EXTRA BRIGHT".

lookz aiite...ill take some pics later..matches better now than my old super whites...but its still a little bluish/purple =\

anywayz..i thought i read a post about them burning out real fast? i got em for my parking lights, couldn't find any blinkers

so is it true that they will burn out? if so i might return dem

did you get them from autodynamic.com? I heard those "extra bright" 4 led bulb thingies such and like one of the bulbs outta the 4 will burn out if not all, and that they just overall dont last very long...dunno though, see what other ppl have to say

i purchased the 7440 amber led's from autodynamic and have had no problem for almost a year now. i like em and they blink ultra fast too. They are APC by the way. I've also been meaning to get the 194 white led's for the driving lights.

Yea LED's should blink faster because they use less wattage, i remember when i was putting in my clear corners, I had my bulbs out, and i had to drive home real quick to get something, when i hit my turn signal, it blinked hella fast cause i had no bulb in...haha

if you tape half of your bulb in back....your light will blink twice as fast. dont needa buy anything buy scotch tape.
