Agreed on the price.. worth it to have and be done.
You didn't notice down the add on superbrights the red are not 420 lumen did you? But I do favor the 5 led over the 3 for rear facing..

No no, I did notice the red arent at 400 lumen. What I'm curious is if the 6000k would work since that one DOES have a very good lumen output. Only question with that one is if it makes the tail lights too pink in color. I'd rather keep them red output wise, but that one bulb has everything going for it but the color lol

Well, we wanna go and get it done right Rayth, so that everyone on here who wants to go LEDs on the tail lights can do it without having to mess with resistors.

EDIT: Miata, just let us know on here when you order the one test unit

I bet we have members here.. LOL. Get a positive response to my inquiry and will make a purchase tomorrow..

Check Here for Local Pick-up (St. Louis, MO 63045)

Superbrights also have a facebook page...

Several of us on the Crossfire forum are looking to find red led's with 1157 base dual intensities canbus error free (Mercedes) (whites appear to give our lenses a pink hue .. not acceptable).. I've noticed yours. Do I buy one and hope or go for 2? Oh.. I'll hold you responsible if they aren't "useable" light output.. LOL

I have a high confidence in them... at that price, I'm sure they know they would be coming back if they don't perform. But I'm looking at this as a "you get what you pay for"..

Cheap ones complete with free elect. tape for bulb out or bite the bullet..

Yeah, I agree on that one because all the LEDs I purchased from them for the Xfire so far have and are performing great. Canbus ones too to boot

Yeah I just got home from work myself, anyway, I can't quite make out if they are brighter than stock. What's the difference from your own eyes on them? Are they worth it?
