I'm thinking of switching the brake lights back to halogens myself. I've had a few people tell me the brake lights are too hard to see in the daytime since I switched them to the Philips Vision LEDs.

That heat sink looks too large to fit in behind the tail light. Even if it does fit, you probably won’t have enough clearance for the heat sink to breathe and dissipate heat properly. I could see it working better for the front headlight housing. This is going by your picture and also trying to picture what the back of the tail light housing looks like.has anyone ever installed these bad boys?

wondering if our tail light area has the 1.44 inch clearance in between the back of the signal light socket & the car body to accommodate that heatsink
Thanks for the insight, it so hard to measure with the tail light mounted on the body lollThat heat sink looks too large to fit in behind the tail light.

The ones I had in my touring years ago had a resistor I could tuck away somehow, and the resistor never got that warm so I didn’t have to worry about any melting plastic or damage etc... I can’t remember exactly what I did but the turn signals lights did okay until I traded in the Touring. They were from iJDM toy.
Best thing to do is take your tail light off and get a rough idea and do some clearance measurements before you become the guinea pig and find out they won’t work.
Any luck with the ENDPAGE LED tail lights? I'm planning to purchase but I'm also concerned about clearance measurements.Thanks for the insight, it so hard to measure with the tail light mounted on the body loll
I also worry that the heatsink will scratch the body and cause rust...
Any direct links please? I'm afraid to make the wrong purchases.I bought LED turn signals from TypeRleds.com and bought a plug and play load resistor from a YouTuber called DiyCarModz , stopped my Hyperflashing ASAP check it out.
I emailed him at [email protected] and he got back pretty quicklyAny direct links please? I'm afraid to make the wrong purchases.
I know this is a pretty old post.. but how did they hold up after you painted them? Was the brightness the same and how did you like them?I painted my bulbs with high temperature silver spray paint, i posted the pictures in my journal page! I will test them for some time and later decide weather to keep them or buy LEDs
Everything looks exactly the same as the first day, it has been 4 years and all is perfect. Light is only a bit dimmer than originally but it's still perfectly visible in all conditions and honestly better than most led signals on modern cars. BTW i have used the same spray can for a ton of other useful stuff.I know this is a pretty old post.. but how did they hold up after you painted them?

I'm thinking of doing something to my turn signal bulbs too, as I don't really like the orange reflection either lol
