I have LED 1156 and 1157s in red & amber to replace stock bulbs, and I know BATMAN is running the same ones on his FD.

Mine are made by the same co., LEDcorp, but I negotiated some package prices and put 'em up on my site at http://www.wigglepup.com/RX-7/

Thing is, does the FD take 4 brake light bulbs or 2? The LEDs, like stock, have high/low emitters (think 'filaments') but older models still use 2 bulbs per right or left light, for a total of 4.

 

Do you have a picture that compares the standard bulbs to the LED's? I'm always down with something that doesn't fail, like LED's. I'm curious about the intensity/quality of the lights though...

 

I like the idea of never having to replace bulbs and stuff, but won't the lowered voltage and resistance of the LED's make the blinkers go really really slow?

 

There's no 'warm up' time with LEDs, just on-off. These are designed to directly replace the stock bulbs, and blink @ the same rate.

I'll be publishing comparison pics of them soon, but in an FB.

 

Sooooo back to my question, does an FD take 2 or 4 red brake lights?

 

Sorry I can't give you any answer to your question (no FD) , but since you all don't think I'm whoring here, I'll post some pics of some led replcaments on some other cars and you can see for yourself wha ta difference a day makes .

I think the Dual Led's are pimp. I think it can be done on the RX-7. Oh btw, all pics were taken off of www.clearcorners.com. Lates everybody .

 

schweeettttt

 

4 bulbs

 

comparison pics! this looks super cool, so hook up the pics!!!

 

hey wanted to bring this thread back as I am trying to add some led's to my lighting system...any remarks/updates to this

 

you can get them here...

4, two on each side.

 

Does anyone have a side by side comparison of LEDs in the brake lights for an FD3S as compared to the stock incandescent blubs? With the brakes on and w/o would be great. Thanks!

 

Someone who lives close to www.clearcorners.com has got to show them a set of 99 spec tail lights so they can convert them for us. Man their LED systems are beautiful!!

 

I have LED bulbs in my FD. They sell them at autozone... I dont remember how much.

The ones at autozone are almost exactly like having a regular bulb. I see no color/intensity differences.



If you want something you dont have to worry about replacing get them. but if your seriosly looking for something brighter then the ones at autozone at least arnt for you.

 

or a hid headlamp kit, wow the work they do is impressive

 

I tried the Pep boys LED lights but is did not work. The tail lights have the bulbs upright so it was not pointing towards the lens but toward the top and did not illuminate properly. I would like to know exactly the ones you used that worked and a pic of what it looks like?

 

these are the ones they have at autozone:

 

Hey Drift, would you have any pics with the incandescent bulb on one side and your LEDs in the other? Just wanna make a comparison. If not, no worries. Thanks!

 

yeah sure, lol almost a waist of time, nearly nothing different but ill do it for the good of the community. ill have to get it up tomorrow though.

 

Sorry Drift but much appreciated! Thanks my man!

 

Those don't work. The LEDs flash up the way the bulb is mounted so you don't see it an FD. You would have to modify the socket.

 

I hope your prity damn sure about that because im prity damn sure thats whats in my car =)

Im going to go take pictures now. ill try to post them in a couple hours

 

Thanks Drift! For the good of the community!
