Led Brake And Turn Signals

[dacbeth]

Saw a new BMW 3 series convertible tonight. The rear lights tail and turn are all leds. A huge block of red, they were on so I don't know if they are white when off, and a block of white that blink yellow.

These are bright. Our tower leds that we have been adding look insignificant against these. Don't get me wrong, the tower led's we are adding are much brighter than the stock bulbs and look better, but these new factory led tailights on the BMW make them look insignificant. IMHO

Very true. I like those lights and hope the ones coming out at SEMA look like that.

I just ordered the LED tower brake, turn and backup lights for my Mag. I hope to have them by the week-end. Ill get some pics up as soon as I get them in. RobAGD already put them in his car and they look great.

20 LED Towers. I have them too and I'm pretty satisfied. I'd still like a real custom array light that mimics something like the DTS or new BMWs though.

I have the red towers in both the brake and park positions. They do look great.


I heard think someone posted that there are some for sale on ebay??

I just installed mine today. They look really good but I do have one question. Now that I have them in my turn signals are blinking alot faster then normal. Anyone else have this problem??

Usually happens when replacing reg bulbs with LEDS. Because the LEDs draw less than a regular bulb, it affects the flash circuit. They do sell "load equalizers" on the website. I would use the "contact us" and describe your situation. When I replaced the turn bulbs on my Harley, they would not blink at all. When I put in the equalizer it worked fine.

The fast flash is a signal to the driver from the computer that a bulb is out. The old flashers would react the oppisite way as with the Harley. The equalizers would be a good idea.

Is this the same type bulbs used in the Caddies? I know their lights have always been brighter, but I saw the '06 Deville DTS today (still turns my head :-), and when he stepped on the brakes or put his turn signal on, it was unbelieveably bright. It made all the turn signals and brake lights on other cars look so inadequate!! Even when he was about a mile down the road, his turn signal got my attention!
