from my research the red LED are only good with clear tail
but it looks bad with red tail cuz i seen my friend used the red LEDs on his stock tail and it was kinda weird when he stepped on the brake
but for signal they are bright as hell and need [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG] to look at it directly

Just thought I'd let you know that unless you have clear/Altezza tails, the LED bulbs will be useless. In the stock housing they won't illuminate worth crap and look weird. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

It depends. LED's are brightest when directly looked at the face of the light meaning if you looked directly at the tip of the LED. From the sides the light is barely visible. If you want overall brightness I would suggest you stick with regular 7440 bulbs. This works best with the stock housing because of the mulitple reflectors inside.

hey man, not sure if it's too late, but crappy tire can order them for you.

they carry all the APC stuff...I just got amber LED's for the front turn signals (in 7440...gonna mod the light socket).

I have 7440 turn signals (rear-red in my altezzas) and they are SUPER bright!!!

Make sure to buy the flasher load balance kit from hzengineering.com...

I've been trying to, but the guy won't respond. It'll stop your blinker from blinking spastically [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
