    LED Tail Lamp Bulbs vs. OEM

    I've been wanting to convert my Tail Lamps over to LED bulbs for awhile, so I purchased a few bulbs for the sake of comparison before ordering the complete set.

    I used 2 Recon LED 3157s, one White and one Red, as well as a single 'fillament' bulb from SuperBrightLEDs that did not work. The bulb from SuperBright is for my Reverse Lights anyways, so I only threw it in the tail lamp just in case it might work.

    Recon LED:



    I could have worked the Camera settings a little better for the glare, but you can get an idea of how much light they throw out.



    Left Side (Recon White LED Left, Recon RED LED Right, SuperBrightLED (wrong bulb) on right) vs. Right Side (Stock Sylvania Bulbs)

    I found an even better bulb. 80 LEDs around the body and 12 on the tip of each bulb. They look killer.
