Best Led Brake Light Bulbs

Best Led Brake Light Bulbs
I finally got these LED bulbs for my car and they looking amazing. The lighting looks stock when lit, but now have that cool instant on and off lighting. Only little problem is that my Brake Lamp light in the dash is on, since led's draw a lot less current. They are a bit pricey, $30 a pair. But found them on eBay for $46 shipped for all 4.
I'd say these are the best bulbs you can get with the best lighting.
I'll take pics of the lights this afternoon, to show how they look.

Let's see some pictures of the application on the TL. Have these in the tails of our 98 Camry and I'm still not sure about it.
Edit: BTW. I purchased bulbs for the Camry identical to that, 18LED, for $12.99 a pair at a local lighting store in Atlanta. So they can be had for cheaper than $30 a pair.

On the TL they look really good and real bright, not cheap looking at all. I'll have the pics up tonight, to show you all.

They're identical in brightness and design to the pictures you posted. I got them when we did the LED gauge conversion on our Camry. I can't wait to see what the TL looks like with them.

Here are some daylight pic's, and a comparison of the regular bulbs to the led bulbs. Comparing them next to each other, the regular bulbs are brighter, since it spreads the light more evenly. All in all, the lights are visible in the daytime. And combined with the led spoiler or 3rd braker light, you'll be seen when you brake.

The following is a comparo of the regular bulbs on left and led's on right:

I had made another video, but didn't come out right. I figured the pic's were enough to show the difference. I would of thought they would of been brighter also in the daytime. I think its because they shine towards the sides and out and not back onto the reflector like regular bulbs would. There really bright at night and I have the spoiler led's as well, so I don't mind.

I love cars!
No, I agree it looks great. You think there's enough light at night? If so, it's about the best LED implementation I've seen on a second gen TL. You got all 4 bulbs for $46 shipped? Where can I get that deal?

In there own website there selling them for $60, so I guess they do some deals on eBay every now and then. To me it's the closest it's gonna get for the 2nd gen TL to have LED's, unless they came out with aftermarket led taillight housing's. I'm surprised they don't make them.

They probably would work great at night, but they are sort of dim in daylight (and thats overcast). A big improvment over the earlier generations of LED bulbs, but I'm too weary to buy and get slammed from behind when its bright out or foggy. Just using our regular bulbs seems to be trouble enough, look at all the rear ender posts lately.
Type_S- thanks for being the guinnea pig on these LED's. Are you keeping them in the car?
