Hey Guys ...

Anyone interested in ordering anything from Superbrightleds.com?

I'm about to make an order, but their shipping costs blow so I thought I'd try to combine orders with some people.

 

I hope you have luck with these. From what Ive read and heard, including myself, they just dont last long for headlamp applications. If they are for indoor use, you may have better luck..

 

gonna try em for the license plate lights - should be ok since theres no heat from headlamps?

 

^ there is heat from the exhaust..

 

ya i had them in my tag light. they last longer than inside the headlights/clearance but still...heat from exhaust kills em. the one's i had lasted forever until i WAS rear ended

since the clearance is a b1tch to remove i just run w/ NO clearance bulb. the clear corners and tag lights are MUCH easier to swap when they blow out.

 

yeah i figure they're like $4 bucks...might as well give em a shot, piece of cake to swap the originals back in too

 

^^try the 9LED one's...the 5 bulb and 6 bulb one's seem to burn out quicker for some reason. (except in the corners). overall tag light and clearance lights will burn out faster than usual b/c of heat...

 

Ive ran through 4 sets in the clearance stip so far and the PIAA LEDs have lasted me the longest so far and the are nice and bright. They get my vote. With the license plate, I have leds there also and havent had a problem yet. Stay away from the matryx bulbs though. They are nothing but trouble. They short out very easily.

 

which piaa leds do you have?

 

This is an example of the ones I have. I got mine from ebay as well for a few bucks less, but so far worth it.

Exhaust temp wont effect the temp of the l. plate bulbs. So I wouldn't worry about that. Can't speak to the qualty of their LEDs, I have a set in now, but I've only had them for about 3 weeks.

 

if you can, you should just go with PIAA's, they're pricey but they dont burn out! I went through 2 sets of these LED's including another set (replaced under warranty) that I just tossed.

 

actually I believe both John and myself have had to replace our license plate bulbs many times. I have swapped at least 6 bulbs into my tag lights in about a 8 month period. I cant speak for john but I have swapped in both 5 bulb and 6 bulb wedge LEDs from superbrite. Believe it or not they burn out fast in clearance and tag light areas. Only place they last is in the clear corners...

 

I just took out my clearance strips. Eventually i'll get around to getting some PIAA's in there. I guess when I take off my wheels and put on the winter set.

 

PIAAs are 2x as expensive. Still not tooo bafd tho. That ebay link is $30 shipped.
