FEELER: LED Braking Bulbs from AZN_Optics

Here's the thing - we could get LED braking bulbs at approx. $22 per set. 2 sets are needed for two brakelights. We would need to get about 30 sets so that means 15 orders.

These would be helpful especially for those with tinted tails. The brightness and response time of LEDs when you press the brake will increase also the reaction of the guy (or woman) behind you. So you don't get rear-ended... and get your carbon fibre diffuser wasted

AZN_optics agreed to do these for us but only we got 30 sets ordered

how would this work? just open up your stock taillights that don't have led bulbs and replace all the bulbs? that's all it takes?

Here's a sample from my test set. It'll be of this design, but will be the white output (not the red from my test batch). I've got tinted tails on my 204 and it's noticably brighter than stock. In addition, for those who have the same tail light configuration as this, these bulbs also work for your reverse light if you want to round out the rear. I'll see if I can take some more pics.

Here are some more pics....This is just with the lights turned on. The red LED is plugged in to the top portion and the rest is stock bulb. You can see the light is noticeably brighter. I'll see about taking more pics tonight with the white LED plugged in there which should be even better. No errors. I'll also see if I can take pics braking and plugged into the brake light. My tails have a medium tint on it (cherry/cranberry)

Instead of all these +1s, place your name on the list including how many sets you want. This will be a one time run as I don't plan on making more of these so it's recommended you pick up a spare set. No plans for other models yet.

It would be great if you can do pics with both bulbs (stock and LED) that we can see the difference.

Dave, I changed the layout of the list as Michael requested.
I would appreciate if you could add how many sets you want to the new editted list

Ok, I've got my test set in. Want you all to be fully aware of my feelings on them and up to you if you want to continue as I don't want to misrepresent anything.... When plugged in and lights turned on, the LED version is brighter than normal stock bulb. HOWEVER, when braking, normal bulb appears to me to be brighter than the LED.

Here are the pics and a video of it in action along with my new LED turn signal. LED replacement on the right passenger side, stock on the left driver side (except for the red polarg turn signal). Note: I've got medium tinted tails.

I'm not very happy with the effects. Thanks for the honesty Michael, but I'm signing out. The idea I had in my mind was that the taillights would be brighter when I hit on the brakes.

Have to drop out as well. I have ordered tinted rears and need to make sure that when I brake that the lights are powerful enough to compensate for tint. Appreciate the honesty and be candid. Wish all vendors were like this.

Sorry for being off topic - Dave, which tinted tails did you order?
