Hey all,

I am on 2nd pair of LED 7443 bulbs that I want to use as my tail/light brake light.

Because, the bulb in the housing is angled, most of LED do not work - and neither have these 2 pairs I have bought.

I see some other models that might work, and I wanted to try them, but before I waste any more money, I wanted to ask whether anyone has tried and succeeded with finding a 7443 bulb for the tail lights.

Thanks.

Igor

Hey, i have these in my car and they are actually brighter than halogen lights, not to mention they do light up much brighter when the brake is applied as opposed to others. but, this is only my opinion.

thanks .. I was looking at those from Autolumination: they have 2 designs:

http://autolumination.com/7443_7440.htm

18 High Powered Wide Angle SMT LEDS, $25 each

7443 OR 7440 32 leds (12 forward facing + 20 side facing leds) - $11 each

I think I might spring out for the more expensive ones ....

thanks for confirming that the "Tower" design works.

do you actually have a picture of the LED's in the housing? am tempted to buy them over the Autolumination ones but was wondering whether I could see a pic before i buy.

Thanks

Igor

I bought them

thanks

I was going to buy from Autolumination, but saw no reason to try something new, while this was tested .. Thanks

I will take pictures when I get them .. and install them.

Looking forward to those pictures because I am interested in doing this as well, but have been skeptical of the brightness of them.
