Superlumination = bad.. =( ??

Hi-

I am sorry for all of your trouble.

I do not think that PIAA bulbs are as good as our bulbs, but that is for you to decide.

For future reference, when using leds you must switch off the lights when:

1. Starting the engine.
2. Using jumper cables.
3. Changing or disconnecting the battery.

Leds cannot be installed next to incandescent bulbs. The heat will destroy the leds.




Anyone else have LED being 'destroyed' in their wedges?

Hey man, I have the same LED's as you in my clearance strips, funny thing is though, tonight I noticed that my driver side LED is flickering on and off like a strobe light. Yet my passenger side LED is running fine. I liked the PIAA's but the color faded really quick on those bulbs. Doesn't really justify its price. :P btw, how'd your injen exhaust install go?
