I spoke with them over there regarding exactly what I ordered.

Turns out I ordered both turn signals and brake lights as _1156_
There was no filing needed and it works fine.

Looking back, I think I did buy 1157 APC brand originally for the turn signals. At the same time I bought 1156 brake lights. I remember the brake lights fit right away but I didn't even go home with the 1157 turn signals because of that extra pin. I wasn't sure of the exact size bulb needed, and I thought I made a mistake. I believe they let me attempt to put them in at the shop, but it was months ago so my memory is fuzzy.

Anyway 1156's should work. Sorry if you guys don't like the mod - this is what it is... and in my opinion looks good. I actually compared my rear lights to another Crossfire, and you guys are right about the brake lights being less bright. However, the part that does light up is brighter, meaning the LED bulb looks very nice and brighter through the housing, even though the rest of the housing is lit up less. I think it looks sharp in my opinion, and I know there are other guys here that have done this mod and enjoyed it, and are not posting on this message board.

But then again, everyone has their own opinion.

> I placed an order back in early March for some Matrix bulbs and they work great! However, is it possible you can tell me exactly what I ordered? My buddy has the same car and wants to order the same bulbs that I bought from you... Apparently theres some confusion between what it says the car needs and what actually works best... I actually went through several other LED bulbs from other companies before I found you guys...
