YearOne LED 1157/1156 replacement bulbs

As the title says, Looking to upgrade to LED's on the 1157/1156 front.

Has anyone tried these out on their ride yet? I've been thinking of going with a HiTec LED setup but this would be a nice (and cheaper) alternative if this actually works.

I'm refurbishing the taillight panel of me 73 Challenger so I'm going to have this apart anyway.

Sorry to bump this post but I'm looking for anyone who has installed these in their car. Thinking about buying at least one to see if they're worth it but would like any input.

Thanks!

Year one will cost you more and then they add a big fat shipping/handling fee to it. As with most things, it's available cheaper somewhere else and no need to get out the KY.

with that said, LED replacement bulbs have their limits. They are trying to adapt the technology to work in a lens that wasn't designed for it. Not a huge problem for smaller lights, like dash lights or side markers. But with larger things like tailights, I have seen many people who return them to the store and put standard bulbs back.

I did my charger tailights, but I found a place that made an entire new lense with LED's planted all over it (25 of them) An LED replacement bulb that sits just in the middle won't give you that kind of light. I have seen better ones than I bought that use 200 (smaller) LED's. Those are very nice and look like incandescent bulbs on steroids. the ones I bought look a bit "bling" and modern but I didn't mind for half the price.

You wouldn't mind sharing where you got those or some places that sell them (I am intrigued about the 200 LED setup).

Thanks for the reply. I have to say I'm not too concerned about bling factor as much as I'm concerned about the safety factor.

i use LED bulbs in my 71..i believe they are red 12 LED pieces - they light up bright...idk if they're necessarily brighter than the incandescent bulbs, but they do look nice...the plan was to change the rest of my bulbs to led, but haven't gotten to it yet

The 25 LED lights I got on ebay. forget the seller, but a company called united pacific makes them. not in their catalog though. you would have to call. They work great.

Now...the 200 led lights...I saw them on a members car over at dodgecharger.com. search for norway charger. forget where he got them but I recall they were 400 bucks

Here are the united pacific 25 led's on my charger. thats 25 per light, so 100 total. very bright
