I've got 3 watt led front turn signals that I'm happy with. Also, my dad's BMW motorcycle automatically uses the brake lamp at a lower voltage if the tail lamp burns out.

the orange 1156 base SMTs are nothing short of fantastic.

From the video they look pretty damn bright. Especially when the hazards are on by themselves. Where can one get these bulbs? I am googling now, but wanted to know if you guys have a specific place you would get them.

I replaced all of my indicator lights on my Audi with LED's about 4 years ago with the cheapo unidirectional autozone LEDs, best $80 i ever spent, i haven't drove my Audi in about a year because of *cough*

so i dont have any pics or vid of it, but for some reason they don't blink extra rapidly or anything aside from the normal instant on instant off sexiness and are extremely bright even tho it just looks like uber-bright glowing orbs as they are only outward firing, bleh

Yeah it is v-leds.com
I priced out a complete set for my car, about $85 all together. front and rear blinkers, brake/tail lights, and the third brake light. Based on a quick search on ebay and froogle it looks like these guys are about the only source for this style?

Scratch that... here is another source

Anyone try this style? More light output and half the price. Not SMT, but...

My mom got me those for my birthday. They sent 1156 bulbs instead of 1157, even though the box matched the part no. on the site. When she emailed them about it, they said they had to check with their engineers and investigate the problem. :bang:

Shows you what a bunch of fucking idiots they are at Moss. Anyway I've heard bad things about those "spider" style LEDs concerning longevity.

Not to mention the discount code posted earlier... but if the dude's too big of a douche to look for himself, frack em.

Can't say I've seen those specifically, but every non SMT led globe I've seen has sucked.

Looks really good man! So I take it you're using the resistors you bought from Fry's?
