I have been burning out DTRLs about every 12 months (just a little past warranty) for the last 3 years. I saw some LED replacements at SuperBrightLEDs.com and thought I would give them a try. The site said the LEDs would be 3 out of 5 for brightness where 5 is the original factory intensity. I have been using after-market 55 watt lights that are brighter than the stock lights.

The LEDs are a little longer but easily fit in the stock location. When I first started the car, I had to get pretty close to confirm the LEDs were even turned on. They are really not as bright as I would like to see. These lights are on during the day and need to be bright enough to make other cars aware that there is a car approaching. I have to rate them a 4 out of 10.

There are newer and higher intensity LEDs coming out weekly. Anyone considering this mod should wait for the next version.

 

Thanks for the info and being the first to try it out!
