they are completly diffrent...
they are just globe types ones by the looks of it,
this would be tthe whole insides of the light filled with leds hence why it is 100 leds for each side of the brakes and 80 leds for the indicators, like it would be dots every where in the houseing type of thing


yeah they are different
but i dont think many people will wanna spend 300+ dollers for the wank factor. Ive have done the cheap alternative :) and i like the look of em and they are fuken heaps brighter than the globes

you can get them for aroud about $10 each and they got the right bayonet fitting and everything. Am I missing something? Seems like buying UL petrol and buying octane booster to turn it into premium.

yeah they are the ones i got for my brakes. the hyperbright ones and i got the indicators custom made with the modified flasher can thingy


I didn't see the superbright ones. They total 232,320mcd each bulb for $18 each ($36 on the site is for the pair)
As opposed to 'Marmo aka GRNGOB' conversion with 200,000mcd (86% of the light output) for $300. Hmmmmm

but they still look like normol tailights not modded ones they still look like there is two "globes" by the two circile, mine would be thoe whole thing lit up and more in your face just due to the fact that there is more(it would appear brighter)

why do those boards use a resistor for each led? surely it would be simpler just to bridge the leds together in parallel so they will run straight off 12 V??
Seems to be a complete waste of money

They suck i have them right here infront of me. The park light is duller and when u brake the light isnt much brighter. Go to fordforums.com.au go to general tech and u will see a huge thread on these bulbs they turned out to be a failure. I got a heap of comparison pics over there tooo!
