Warren,
The best price I found was SuperBrightLEDS. For tail lights I bought
Red1157-R24-Wide and scroll down the link to see at
http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-bin/store/commerce.cgi?product=CAR
You must use red LED with a Red Lens. Color of lens will fitter affect light
from any LED. You must remember to specify wide. It defaults to narrow. The
cost is $7.49 per bulb. Voltage limit is 14.8.
If you buy and get bulbs from the company, don't wait, but immediately check
the new bulbs and bench compare side by side. I have received defective
bulbs, but only in white. They will cheerfully send a replacement and a
return mailer all at no charge to you but is very short time limit. Shipping
was fast. It is very easy to confuse which bulb is the one you want. I have
bought at least $400 of their bulbs. Let me help you know which is which if
you need. Their phone staff does not know one bulb from the other. They
cannot tell you which they sell fits what socket on many of their bulbs.
Know this. LED bulbs are not like incandescent. THEY DON'T reflect! An LED
bulb is one-direction only. So if you want to "fill" your lens with light,
get the LED bulb with forward projection and side emitting array LED
projection combined LED's. This is the bulb that works for that. Not the
cheaper one nor the more expensive one. Read the description beside the bulb
on the right.
LED=YOU MUST USE COLOR OF BULB WITH COLOR OF LENS or color will be wrong or
light output diminished. All incandescent bulbs make a yellow light, not
white light, no matter if they color the bulb. A white LED is made up of
blue and brown. It is a fantastic bright white light.
Did you know just one little LED of an array exceeds the DOT Lumens of an
incandescent bulb!
