NOPE video wont go ,sorry wanted to show new LED BAR lights!

second time car coming up behind and slammed on brakes , said NO directionals , well LUCAS lights are from the dark ages, barely glow in bright sunlight!
already tried LED bulb not much better , but the new BAR LEDs are fantastic!

if you drive in traffic with original factory lights you may need something more than a joke!

Hello Ron

Going to have to explain this one a bit more. Curious to know how you did it, as I will be reattaching the rear lights soon.

Do you have a part number or something similar?

Cheers
Steve

walmart , dont have any part numbers tho,, $18. dollars for the pair with mounting brackets, and wire connectors!

best part is they hook directly to the factory wiring, NO special resistors or anything!. something called a COB inside?
i will get better pix! these LED bulbs mounted in factory place are TOTALLY Useless.

I'm confused. How did you mount them? What is the BAR you mentioned?

well me being old fashioned always just did things that really work for my needs, like no numbers or directions!
seen these at wally world , so decided to make them work in place of factory stuff



24 LED;s in each BAR! hope this helps with old lighting problems!

Hello Ron

Wasn't quite what I expected so thanks for the last pictures.

Just purchased some bulbs with 80 Led per bulb, so maybe we can have a flash off in the future.

Presuming the led in your brake and parker lights are bright enough?

Cheers
Steve

YES brake and park are very good , mounted closer to lens!

the turn bar lights are at least 10 times brighter than factory!

and work perfectly with the factory wiring and flashers! ( my flashers are original 1978).

You need to upload the video to YouTube, and link it in a post. The forum cannot host videos in the same way it hosts photos.

someone mentions because fronts are incandescent factory wiring will work, and it does!

but they are much brighter than originals,, cost at wally world, $23. for the pair of fronts!

this is without lite ON , much brighter with power on , i may try to get a shot when blinking, park is not as good!

much more important for rear lites ,,after two almost rear collisions, in bright daytime sunlite!
