[QUOTE="ionbeam, post: 1318533, member: 277"] The source is [URL="https://www.vizi-tec.com/1157-led-bulb-26-powerful-hb-smd-led-tower/"]Vizi-Tec.[/URL] For all the size drama of the OP's picture, here is a size comparison. [IMG]https://cdn2.bigcommerce.com/server5100/o6ir7tg/products/74/images/484/1157_3_2000px__21226.1390710806.400.400.jpg[/IMG] The bulbs are plug 'n play, a straight 1:1 swap right after paying $15.75. The base is a two pin 1157 style contact. The running light draws 100mA and the brake light 550mA so the running wattage of the brake light would be ~7.7 watts ea. This is a hard way to save watts on a Gen II or Gen III. The odds of the LED being equal to a standard bulb when viewed at an angle is probably pretty low. Note the filament is linear and keyed to only go into the socket one way so the reflector is designed for those optics. The Gen III signals are flashed by the ECU, there is no longer a flasher relay so I would expect that you would NOT have to do anything to the flasher circuit. Man up and be the guinea pig for the Forum [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png[/IMG] It's only $30 bucks for $6 worth of lights and but it saves 40W every time the brake is activated and an entire 14 watts the rest of the time.
