Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This item is not exactly what is pictured. In the picture, the entire body of the bulb appears to be metal. In the package, the bottom half (that actually goes into the socket) was metal, but the top half (the bottom of the leds) was made of plastic. This is important because the plastic was not firmly secured to the metal base. As you probably know, 1157 bulbs have to be pushed into the socket and then rotated slightly. This bulb could not be twisted into position because the top plastic part would spin without turning the metal base...so the bulb seemed pretty much unusable. I wish I had stopped there and sent it back. Unfortunately, I solved this design flaw with a few drops of super glue at the seam.
So I was able to install the bulb...and discover how dim it is. The marker/tail light function is OK. It is a little dimmer than stock, but acceptable. The brake/turn signal function is simply unacceptable. It is only slightly brighter than the tail light in the dark and barely noticeable in the daylight. It is just begging for a ticket...or a rear ender.
If I hadn't superglued them, I would be sending them back.
I DO NOT recommend this product.
