Since there’s now a place for this question. I’ve looked at the OCS and seen very mixed recommendations regarding LED replacement bulbs for dash and taillights.
Can anyone recommend specific retailers and products that are plug and play and get the job done (brighter)?
I know that BLM on the OCS did some research and posted pics showing his results with various bulbs and painting the bulb housing white or silver. His pictures demonstrated that LED bulbs were significantly bright than 1157 bulbs in running mode but that when brakes were applied there was not much difference. I think others had found that with some LED bulbs there was not much differentiation between the running brightness and braking brightness. He ultimately went with a 2357 incandescent bulb which is brighter than the 1157 bulb and he thought perhaps a bit brighter than the LED, but not much to my eye.
Interested in dash lights too but haven't looked into it much and seemed to remember there being some issues with getting them to work right.
