    Cancelled flashwolves and ordered the deautoleds. Found a 10% off coupon online for them too. Thanks for the heads up.

    You're welcome. :) They were the brightest LEDs of the bunch.

    ^^ which version Philips 921 are you guys using? The one with the mirrored cone? Or the newer one with three LEDs on each side?
    ^^ the best 921's I've found by far are the Sylvania Zevos. Great bulb for maps and license plates.

    I think they are talking about the Philips Gy6.35 HIRs (not LED). LEDs will not come close to the 886.

    Sylvania has nothing on the DeAutoLED LEDs:

    Coincidentally I just read that review a couple days ago. Well done. After spending $23 on the Philips led awhile back, I'm not ready to throw down $50 on the DeAuto. I might try the Zevo, though. Or am I beating a dead horse, having the Philips already?

    I wouldn't pay to switch from Philips to Zevo, especially when for less than $10/set you can drastically outperform the highest performing LED, by a long shot:

    Less than $5:
