LED brake lights do not "get bright" when the lights are on, work fine w/ lights off (Page 2/2) qwikgta OCT 20, 09:37 AM guess it was just the bulbs. Ordered new dedicated brake LED's, 3rd brake LED, installed them all and now I have tail lights and brake lights when the lights are on. theogre OCT 20, 12:32 PM quote Originally posted by qwikgta: guess it was just the bulbs.

Only on paper or built correctly into whatever. Drop in LED from most places won't last in cars for 1 or more reasons and only some highlights in my Cave, LED poisoning I don't even trust Osram/Sylvania selling LED under BS "Off Road" label that typically cost $10+ per "bulb." (2357R $19.99 per pair even at Wmart...) Larryinkc OCT 20, 01:52 PM I installed these 1157 Plasma LED bulbs in my daily driver turn signals and back up lights in 2017. I have replaced 1 turn signal bulb so far. They are much brighter than the incandescent bulbs they replaced. https://secure.cougarpartsc...ed&sessionthemeid=26
