I have found after experience with many different bulbs that they simply just do not perform in all conditions. Those tower LED's all but almost become non existent in any sort of daylight conditions. If you want a bulb that will exceed all expectations in all conditions don't settle for anything less than the VLED V3 Tritons. They are available in 5 and 6k switchbacks or standard amber as well as red for the rear turn signals. They are worth the money!! And no I do not work for VLED lol. I was one of the first to get the Tritons and I'm still using them with zero issues.

They're ok, but its hard for other motorists to see your turn signal in direct daylight. I could only deal with so many close calls before I got motivated enough to get rid of them.

I had them for about 6 months before I moved up to the Triton V3s.

I bought the tritons as well and could't be happier, they are super bright and look amazing. Definitely worth the extra money.

Thanks! I finally got my tritons because of your advice and wow they are really amazing! I got the 5k switchbacks for my front flashers and i'm really impressed by the quality of this product. You were right, they worth the money!

Awesome!! Glad my advice was worth something to you and your happy. I knew you wouldn't be disappointed. Looks awesome!! For what it's worth, I actually think that small amber piece in the Type S headlight is the perfect amount of amber. Not too much like the base headlights, but not too little to where it looks too plain and just black and white. Just my opinion, but I think Acura did a perfect job on the Type s headlights.
