Error free 1156 brake lights
Has anyone used error free 1156 led lights for the brakes?
I have few sets but they create error on the dash, normally you need resistor but there are some error free out there.
Not sure if anyone has tried and used any, would prefer CREE.
Thank you.

Most bulbs advertised as error free are usually the opposite and cause errors.
I want to try AZN also for W5W for my eyebrow and license plate lights. Hopefully theirs won't cause an error.

I've tried led bulbs for the brakes before and I ended up taking them out. The brightness of the led bulb especially during the day didnt make me feel comfortable about my safety. I wouldn't recommend it.

It depends of the led bulb.
That's why I prefer Cree leds, super bright.
Here is my 71 w114 with Cree and regular led bulb, plus the headlights have smoked tint but still super visible.

I've tried cree, plasma/cob LEDs and the current design just doesn't cover enough of the reflector to shine brighter than halogen during the day, sure at night it's great. Anyways, personal preference.
