ERF Projector bulbs for Backup Rock.

snickle · Jul 13, 2006

I have been extremely unhappy with the backup bulbs in my Magnum and could not find a good replacement.

Lead me to an ERF bulb. It works great!!!! I can actually see out my rear window.

I purchased mine at www.craigcamera.com for 6 bucks each.

Pics??!! I bought some hyperwhites for mine, but don't really care for the look of the actual bulb when viewed in the housing...:roll:

I'll take some pics tomorrow, but it was not looks I was trying for, but eing able to see at night, when backing up.

Now I can.

The bulb is smaller than stock, and pure white.

Thanks for the reply, that's what I want too, more better vision! I thought the hypers would do it, but they really aren't that bright, & like I mentioned, I don't like the look. Pics would be great! :grin:

The ERF bulbs are not listed on that site. Is there another place to look for these?

snickle · Jul 13, 2006

Hmmm. They were last week. Try ebay.

Got mine here. Arrived in 3 days. Great price on the bulbs but shipping is a little high. But I got them for a group so it all worked out. http://www.atlantalightbulbs.com/ecart/pg0827/39008.htm And they are bright.

Token · Jul 13, 2006

I just talked to John at CraigCamera and he confirmed that he is indeed out of stock.

He suggested to look at http://www.bulbman.com for them.

I have tried but have not been able to locate those bulbs on that site.... there are just too many damn lamps there.

So as they have a $24.95 minimum order and the bulbs are less than 6 bucks, did you order 5 of of 'em?

M-Square Magnum · Jul 13, 2006

Man I got mine (thanks to MyRT) and I love 'em!!! I was backing out of my driveway last nite and they lit up the house across the street! Worth the money IMO.

snickle · Jul 13, 2006

Sounds like someone needs to organize a group buy from AtlantaLightBulbs. IF you do, I'll get a piar as spares. Love em.

I order 8 bulbs for local owners.

I bought some ERDs. I would be glad to buy a couple ERFs if someone needs someone to buy a pair to get a good deal. Let me know how much you can get them to 88007 for.

Same here, Group Buy, or to 98409.

MattRobertson · Jul 13, 2006

I put mine in a few days ago during the day and forgot all about 'em. I guess I better go out after dark tonite

Turf · Jul 13, 2006

i got a pair of ERDs from atlanta bulbs, i needed some other specialty bulbs so i hit the $25 minimum no problem. ERDs are rated 35 watt, but i havent actually tried them out yet...

thanks once again to robins_SXT :thumbs_u:

35?!?!?!?! that is as much as the fog lamps!!!!! I am SOOOOO buying these!!!

ekaz · Jul 14, 2006

If anybody from Illinois/Chicago wants to get in on some, I'll place the order.
PM if interested.

ratman1648 · Jul 14, 2006

Would someone PLEASE setup a group guy for these so we don't have to spend a billion dollars just to get two??????

RobAGD · Jul 14, 2006

Has any one tried the ERF's yet ? I am about to put an order in for at least 6 of them ( they are 50w vs the 35w

) Other question I have is heat.

Any one with teh 35w ones feel how warm your tail light housing gets if you leave them on for a munite or so.

the ERD's are 35, right? The ERF's are 50.

Oddly I'm not all that impressed with them. Part of that is probably cuz I am a total extremist when it comes to lighting. I've got a long history of insane setups on cars and bikes (my mountain bike has two HID Niterider Blowtorch's out the front, which is... ridiculous). Its brighter if I stare at the bulbs... I can tell its more light... but it doesn't seem like that much. MAYBE it has to do with the fact that I have aftermarket lights and mebbe they have inferior reflector housing focus. Not a clue.

I liked it when I had a fog light mounted on the drivers side rear... and I wired it so I could fire it up while in Drive. And put in a 100w bulb. But that was when I was in college and I had fewer scruples and brains.

I've got the ERF's in and they are definately very bright. They have been in for about 2 weeks now with absolutely no ill effects.
The reverse lights are on for such a short period of time that there is no appreciable heat generated. I don't go anywhere in reverse for long periods of time.
Here's a shot I just took at 5:30am with no flash.

joseph · Jul 14, 2006

I'm so interested that I will buy 5 for myself next week, unless somebody starts a group buy and I'll get 3 (for sure)

quarky42 · Jul 14, 2006

I'd be willing to look into running another group buy, but I don't know for sure yet. I'd have to see what kind of discount I could hook up from a supplier.

PM me the direct link to the page with the ERFs on them of the suppliers you have found so far and I will talk with them when I have time to see if they want to haggle / make a deal.

If I can get one of them to swing a significant discount where I can save the LXers a bunch of money then I'll run the group buy. I ran a pretty good HIR headlight group buy a while back and I really like my HIR bulbs. (see my iTrader rating)
