Going to install tail LED lights. I have the relay and wiring diagram thanks to other members and would like to know which bulbs to get and where to get them. LED technology changes so fast it is hard to keep up. Thanks.
I don't have the answer to your question, but would like to share something I learned when trying to put LED tail bulbs in my truck. Keep in mind incandescent bulbs emit light in all directions, while LEDs are very directional. The apparent size of a tail light is due to the internal reflector and lens design, bouncing the light around inside the lamp. So, to replicate this with an LED bulb, you'll want one with multiple LEDs, mounted all around the bulb. Otherwise, if you get one with all the LEDs mounted facing the rear, your tail light will just look like a laser spot--very bright, but tiny.
Keep us posted on the longevity of these. Trying to find a "quality" LED replacement is tough--they all look alike, and they all seem to come from HK/China (the same factory?).
This is why I asked about longevity--I liked SBLED's two-year warranty, but only if these things actually fail. I wonder what effect bouncing around in a Rzr will have on the circuitry.
Well finally got my lightbulbs from China yesterday. They are pretty bright for LED's. The only time that you can tell the stock filament bulbs are brighter is when you hit the brakes they have a little more glow to them, but not much difference. I am very pleased with them. For $12 they will be hard to beat.
No you can run them for hours and grab the bulb and feel no heat at all. That is one of the benefits of running them along with long life and a small amount of power draw.
Got them today and installed. They're awesome--almost as bright as incandescent, and like your photos, they throw off a pretty slick look from behind. Thanks again.
Maybe if someone on here was smart and wanted to make a few bucks could sell the led taillight conversion with the running lights off unless the head lights are on kit. That would be great. ????????????? Anybody up for that????????
