Nope just a local high performance automotive supply. Its true that they are cheaper online direct from China, but it was nice to walk into a store and buy one with out waiting 2 or 3 weeks. I order a ton of stuff from China and its nice not to have to wait once and a while.kingearwig wrote:Is this auto performance shop a chain store that we all may have heard of if so please share the name.

Re: Tail light burned out, time for LED ;-)
just my opinion
and what I have learned about leds
I have used led bulbs in the past
but if you compare the brightness of a regular bulb to a led
the regular is easer to be seen on a sunny day because the light spectrum
of a led closely matches the sun
try bolth bulbs in the sun if you have time
I need to take pics but I keep forgetting
now if you want to use a regular bulb
don't use a 1157
use a 2357
1157 Candela 3w running 32 brake
2357 Candela 3w running 40 brake
which makes your brake light a lot more visable than a 1157
I don't dislike led lights they work like they are designed to do
it is just that your lights are not as visable as a regular light
wattage & candela chart in link below

Re: Tail light burned out, time for LED ;-)
Thanks for the better bulb number I'm going to try the led version of that 2357. My led bulbs seems fine for now in the sun shine but I will upgrade it.
