    There new 7443 Amber DRL/Turns are really looking great. If anyone wants to add to the testing for a discount or even free if you are a return customer just email: Support@deAutoLED.com

    This was the last piece of the puzzle. THIS IS NO RESISTOR/TAPS ETC LEDs. So plug and play just like their 7443 brake/tail and front turns 7440!

    @deAutoLED.com Yes, the team offered to send them to me! I was very thankful they offered it to me and also caught my noob mistake before I goofed it up lol. I just wanted to get some extra clarification before I bit the bullet and picked up some. After reading your comments above, I didn’t mean to come off as bluntly as I had in my original post. Please accept my apology. They have been extremely helpful (I’ve been going back and forth with them all day talking about products, etc.). I’d love to try out the 7443s if it helps others in the thread!

    Thanks!

    No need to apologize. I was only trying to get it all together in one spot. I hope it works out. Keep us updated here on the forum and I will try to email and keep in touch with the team too.

    Thanks for the update.

    Review for yellow/white fogs:



    --------------------------


    NEPAChuy full review:
    I received multiple test bulbs from deAutoLED for the rear 7443s in order to address the low contrast ratio between running lights and brake/turn lights.

    This final test bulb left me content. In the videos below, it is mounted in the left brake location. The videos show a comparison to stock.

    As mentioned previously, the new bulb is the EXACT same form factor and external design as the previously released bulb that I wasn’t happy with. It’s nice to see deAutoLED standing behind the product and updating the internal circuitry after some customer feedback was given.

    The new 7443s far outperform the stock bulbs.










    --------------------------


    Review by @Parker315 for projector LEDs:

    Yes sir, I just tested them yesterday with the help of a friend. They are significantly brighter than the Hikari Phillips bulbs. I was thoroughly immpressed. I'll share some comparison pics here shortly :thumbsup::D


    Alright so here we are. So the new deAutoLED h11 is always on the right (passenger side)


    Stock vs deAuto (not sure why second pic appears more blue)



    Hikari Phillips vs deAuto




    So what are we looking at... Well we can see that the beam pattern of both led bulbs are very similar to the Halogen. The deAuto is very concentrated and is obviously brighter than halogen and the Hikari just by looking at the hotspot.

    The throw and spread was better on the deAuto as well. I plan to do some additional testing and see what the beam pattern of the deAuto new H11 looks like next to my 55w HID. I realize it may not be as bright, but I'm convinced it will show just how great the the output and build of this LED really is. More to come soon.


    Regarding the yellow/white. Those are very cool and I'm digging them alot. I only tested these in the lowbeam projector housing so far because I need to put my stock fogs housing back in to test.

    I will most likely run these over my current Morimoto TRS fogs just seeing how bright they are. These will for sure be brighter than those plus I like the yellow cause we have some crazy fog here in Houston from time to time.

    Anyway here is a short clip of the functions of the yellow/white leds. Again this was in the projector low beam housing and really they should be used for fogs in a reflector housing.

    I've also got some video footage comparing two Tacoma's side by side showing different lighting comparisons in both low beam and fog light housings as well as photos to go with that's. It's comparing stick, Hikari Phillips, and deAuto's new H11.

    I shot all of that last weekend so, I'm gathering all my materials and getting that together as soon as I can to share with everyone here.

    I can tell you, these new H11's by deAuto are incredible and very bright. I was thoroughly immpressed and my buddy that helped wants to get a set for his GMC which he is currently running some LED's and these blew his out of the water.

    The design is well built (see the picture below). So for those who are skeptical and believe they are some cheap eBay product. I can assure you that's not the case here.

    Thanks deAuto for a great product in this fast growing and competitive market. I'll definitely want to get more and replace my Morimoto HID kit and my Morimoto XB fogs. :thumbsup:

    Has anyone used two different color lights in their map lights? Would like to use white in one side and red on the other so that I can have the option to maintain night vision when the need calls for it. I'm curious of people's opinions?

    Yes I have seen it. Many use it for night vision reading. If you email Support@deAutoLED.com they can send it free if you are ordering their interior LED kit.

    Thanks

    These front turn LEDs worked great for about 6 months but a few days ago, one of them started hyperflashing and I had no choice but to revert to the OEM bulbs. I checked deAutoLED's website and it indicates that I have to pay for shipping of the defective one before they replace them. I was hoping they can just ship one bulb to replace the defective one to avoid extra cost. Paid almost $50 for the pair.

    I had a side marker bulb burn out after 6 months too. Lucky I had the extra one they included to put in but I don't think I"ll be using them for anything else.

    yes very odd. It could be the resistor setup but will be fixed with new setup when I emailed them. If you email them they can help Support@deAutoLED.com

    Having these as the brightest and error free on the market you have to look at the issue and cause and they feel it could be a resistor that a new model will fix.

    Something going out so quick needs to be brought to their attention so they can help set you up with new kit and fix it right away outside of warranty policy but you need to email them.

    Mine did the same exact thing. I will say the customer service has been good and they sent me out 2 replacements for. I thought it was just a fluke but then a few months later the other original one started doing the same thing. Luckily I had the other spare one they sent me. They are offering for me to send the lights back for a refund or a replacement with a “newer” 7440 that has a black base instead of white. This “newer” model is said to have a different resistor setup that will fix the issue.
