Default SL people should try these LED bulbs

I purchased these bulbs from ebay. I plugged them in my car for my reverse lights and they are absolutely amazing. Super bright. Uhh, I will post pics.....some time today or tomorrow when I get a chance. SL, you should buy some and try them! Just thought I would share with you SL. Thanks.

Well, on Superbrightleds.com, the bright LED bulbs are about 12.95 for one so this is only a couple of dollars more. I like them. I will post some pics later tonight. Thanks!

1. I paid $5.95 ea for my 921x12 LEDs on superbright.com. $12.95 for one?
2. Those are fulgy.
3. That's a lot of $crill for reverse lights!

But as long as you're happy with them, that's all that matters.

Corrrect me if I am wrong. I know led's are bright when you look directly at them, but when it comes to light ouput, I still thing standard bulbs put out more light. I have 15% tint on my hatch and I need something BRIGHT so I can see at night.

man, your talking about the crappiest 3mm flat top led's possible. i have the 9 led wedge.. sucks the biggest *****. those arent bright by any means. the WHP woulda been a better choice. (best choice SB has) style of led will blow away quantity anyday.. you have to learn that. more is better yes, but type is better than more. also, for cheaper but brighter solutions, check out http://autolumination.com/194.htm they have some super bada$$ PNP dropins. brightest on the market. any way you shake it, if your bulb has 3mm or 5mm led's in it, its gonna suck. i've had them all..

i got the superbright ones as they were bright enough for me the WHP bulb, but mine get used at shows and what not as they are connected to my custom led strobe kit.

but dude is right, there isnt an led bulb yet that can match that of an incandecent bulb. it would have to be custom. some come close, but it gets too expensive as of now.. heat is an issue as well..

Shall I call you 'Daddy'? Since you like to scold me? Sheesh...give it a rest already.

Yes, I know you hate my 'crappy LEDs' (x2 now), can we please move forward? Finally?
