I took the car out last evening and noticed the left turn signal was just solid on the dash. I'm guessing this means I have bulb out on the left side somewhere. No big deal to replace, but I see you can now get LED replacement bulbs that snap right into the stock sockets. Anyone ever tried these? Just curious because they may brighter and run cooler than the old fillement style. Then again, they may suck. If you have any experience with them, please share.

I tried the hazards last night and found that it's the passenger side front that's out. The low for drl works, but the high for the flasher is out. I think for now, I'll just do the fronts. I put LED high beams in my '00 Sierra. They are very bright and white, but they don't seem to throw the light quite as far. Maybe it's just an optical illusion because it's so much brighter close up?

Nah you noticed correctly. That's a function of light output direction, they are very bright but much more directional so the old incandescent housings can't help much in the same way they direct an omni directional source. |
