Why would you want red bulbs for the tail lights. You dont have clear lenses.I bought 2 packs [4 led bulbs] of 1157R [red] for the tail lights

i had these leds in my tail lights my lights were dimmer at night than before so i put standard blubs back and added a third center light in the rear window from Flashing Steady LED Brake Light by Top Serve LLC
I will. Should be here soon. Intersting thing is I have Edison bulbs up front [2] and replaced 4 bulbs in the back with Zevo and the flash rate is basically the same. I think the front Edison bulbs are brighter now since there is so little draw from the rear. So I ordered the amber zevo bulbs and a flasher for led's. If the bulbs don't fit in the front I will still be happy with the setup as it is now and I have 4 extra bulbs for the front!!

let me know if they work.
I got the 2 Amber Sylvania Zevo bulbs today and went and put them in the front. They fit but are taller than the stock Edison bulbs. I was thinking you could file off the top heat sink to match the height of the stock bulbs without much trouble. The high beam portion would only be on for the turn signals so I wouldn't think cooling would be a problem. Anyway I put in one side and they fit as I said and turned on the running lights to compare with the other side with the Edison bulb.
The Edison bulb was much brighter than the Zevo. I put on the flashers and the Edison was much brighter. When I did the rear [4 zevo led's] it was a marked improvement over Edison. What I think is happening is the Edison bulbs in front have a lot more juice than before because the rear bulbs are consuming so much less current. Long story short I left the Edison bulbs in on the front and the zevo's in the rear. The angle of the Zevo's when installed in the socket was such that the main beam of light was pointed up and down on the rectangular reflector which I wouldn't think is good.
If anyone wants to try my Amber Sylvania bulbs send me a PM with your address and I will send them off to you .

The more you over think the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain.I got may Amber LED's in the mail yesterday. Went right an out them in the front turn signals. They too were duller than the standard bulbs, an when I put in the turn signal, they did not blink, just stayed on high, I'm guessing I'll need to upgrade my blinker flasher. Not discouraged though. I may just do with Turboomni did and put the LEDs in my back up and brake lights and maybe even the markers around the car. We'll see. I was just testing the waters anyway.
I think it sounds like yours are perfect... you got the desired improvement without needing to relamp the entire car.Your results may vary! For me the rear [4 led lights] were brighter on braking and turn signals than Edison bulbs. Running lights were not any different. After installing the rear leds as I was happy with them I tried the 2 front Amber Leds. The way they were oriented with the leds's pointed the wrong way in the housing they seemed not as bright as the Edison's. The Edison's were now brighter than before because there was less draw from the rear by a considerable margin so I stayed with the Edison's in front. The rear led's helped the front incandescent bulbs.
I spent 40 bucks for the rear [4] led's and 15 for the front which I don't use but overall I feel it was an improvement back and front.
