Thumbs up LED brake lights

I now stock LED brake and turn signal lights at http://www.wigglepup.com/RX-7/feature_lighting.php



The brake lights have 2 filiments to work as both red marker lights and bright red brake lights as per stock, but much brighter.

The front Amber turn signals also have the 2 filament system for marker light/turn signal brightness.

EDIT: WTF? why did this double-post?

I have clear ones, amber ones, and red ones. Some amber have double filaments (front turn signals) some do not (rear ones)

Single is on/off, like your rear amber signal lights

Dual is off/bright/brighter, like your front signal ones and your rear red ones. You know how @ night both brake lights show red when you're driving, but when you step on the brake they go an even brighter red? Them's dual filaments.

No spade-type currently, and because side markers only need to glow, not be SEEN like brake lights and turn signals, I'd recommend getting LEDs for front & rear and Jose Reyes clear side marker lenses for the sides.

In case I forgot to mention, my supplier is offering a 30 day moneyback gurantee so if oyu think they're not noticeably better than stock, just send 'em back.

They also provide a lifetime warranty on the bulbs. If they ever burn out, send 'em back for new ones.

LEDs don't use filaments so I'm a little confused here. Are you selling LEDs or both LEDs and light bulbs?

"filaments" is now applied to LEDs when describing them as automotive parts so consumers can equate them to existing lights.

The dual 'filament' style have high/low output emitters.

So in other words, they've dumbed it down for the masses. I'd like to think 1st gen owners are a little smarter than that. Here is a link to some really great info about LEDs and all the latest 'flashlights' they're fitted to. http://www.dansdata.com/ledlights9.htm

My supplier, LEDcorp, also makes flashlights, etc. with generous 10 year warranties on them.

The difference between ordering through them or through me is I've negotiated quantity discounts on the LED bulbs (single-bulb prices are identical, multi-bulb sets are slightly cheaper through my site)

All the LED bulbs I offer are shipped from LEDcorp with lifetime warranties and 30 day money back guarantee intact.

Just negotiated a new package price:

For all 4 amber LEDS (Front turn signals & rear turn signals, which are different) and all 4 red LEDs (rear running/brake lights) you can order through my site for $209.95 plus $6 shipping - more than $90 less than they'd cost individually.
