Looking at the LED front turn signal bulbs from HPB

Dark_Knight_335 · 07-08-2011, 10:42 PM

Need some feedback: Shall I get the 18 LED modules, or the 23?

Anyone using these? Thoughts? You would think more LEDs= better, but I'm not so sure...

Also looking to get the LED amber sidemarkers and the LED reverse lights to finish up my poor man's LCI upgrade

Thanks to all.

I actually spoke to them about the 23 LED version, they told me they have them in stock but are waiting for them to be tested and make sure they have no problems with errors before they release them for sale. They are quite a bit brighter then the 18 LED version from what I was told. As soon as they are for sale I'm getting them.

Think you'll get them in the next week? I'd love to hear your take on them! Thanks.

I always recommend the 23 for amber people.

Perfect- ordering the sidemarkers, 23 amber front turns, and LED reverse lights now Jeff!!

Dark_Knight_335 · 07-09-2011, 01:33 PM

BTW Jeff, I have OSS angels with blackout option, with 6700 Philips D1S bulbs, not a factory setup. Is 23 still the way to go?

I always recommend 23 because amber is one of the hardest colors to get light output from so you need all you can get with amber bulbs. I still need to throw these on my car. Maybe next week

I hear you guys are coming along with an even BETTER LED reverse light solution? Should I hold off for that portion?

We need to test it. It should be error free thats all we need to ensure as well as fitment.

I'll tell you this it puts any 3 4 5 or 6 watt LED to shame

I dont know pricing info but I would imagine it will be priced more expensive then our current option due to its larger cost on our end.

Dark_Knight_335 · 07-11-2011, 02:42 PM

Would it be safe to assume your current LED reverse LEDs are at least as bright, if not brighter, than stock? I'm not looking to blind anyone

I'll call up Fred or whomever is over at HPB today and order the amber sidemarkers, 23 bulb front turn signal LEDs, and Reverse LEDs as soon as I hear about the above

Of course they are brighter! Did you see the pics?

cable96 · 07-11-2011, 05:09 PM

do the amber LEDs match up with the Euro LCI tails color?

BTW they are actually closer to white. Go pro is not the best camera taker.

I might borrow my friends camera tonight for some more professional shots.

Sorry, I've been uber busy, every night I think I'm going to get out and finish taking the pictures, I get interrupted *facepalm*. I'll try and get out there tomorrow. But feel free to use any of my pictures for marketing purposes.

Btw I just put in the 23 LED front bulbs tonight and they are indeed brighter.

Highly recommend for anyone looking for the brightest solutions.

They work just fine, just like the 18 LED but brighter.

Dark_Knight_335 · 07-13-2011, 04:42 PM

Pulled the trigger- front turn 23 LEDs, sidemarkers and reverse lights. Score!
