    All the talk about LEDs will never be as bright as halogen bulbs in reflective housing goes out the window.
    Nice and sunny in Hawaii, 73deg. and the Tritons are bright!

    Some people have had success with the included double-sided tape, some have replaced the tape with stronger tape, I used self-tapping metal screws because I didn't want to take any chance of them falling off down the road.

    Sorry if it's been answered, skimmed the posts again, but did it ever get figured out when VLED would be sending the 7443's?

    Headlights (that work best with a focused beam) != turn signals and brake lights (that are supposed to scatter light everywhere).

    No other LED bulbs I've tried comes even close to these lights. ..none. It may be bright at night but daytime you barely see it lit or any difference from halogens.
    If you see ALL the pictures of LED ads, ALL are shown at night .
    I've given up on LEDs til this came out. Even THIS kit I was hesitant. I thought it's either full LED tail lights or halogen .

    Trust me.. I put a lot of time and R&D into the switchback bulb in the reverse bucket. Many factors attribute to great light output and performance; LED Quality and efficiency, emitter distance to the reflector bowl, direction of emitters, etc. I guarantee you will not find a brighter and more functional setup:D

    On a somewhat related note, I popped my tail fuse twice doing some (non-meso related) harness testing. During this event I noticed that the LED DRL is apparently tied to that circuit. Replaced the fuses and everything looked good.

    The DRL's are supposed to run all the time when the headlight is in 'auto' position (tech package) but I noticed a day or two after that they no longer will run unless turned on with the parking light or full headlight on position.

    Anybody have any thoughts? I find it hard to believe the DRL relay (in the engine compartment) got messed up but I can't think of anything else that would cause it.
