Review on Optronics Amber MC42AS Bullseye Clrnc by Jose Mcdaniel

Revainrating 5 out of 5

They are way BETTER with LED bulbs than the LED versions.

I can't tell yet how long it will be before the lens color turns pink and the lens becomes brittle and cracked; If it goes too fast I'll lower my rating. I have a dozen different brands, they are all the same and all parts are interchangeable. The only factor that made me choose this particular brand is that instead of white bases forcing me to wallpaper and paint, the bases on it are already BLACK. If they were white I would star them without a ground wire; However, since the sockets are black, I'll forgive and overlook the lack of a ground wire; I can add my own ground wires. A little double sided tape and a neatly trimmed Reynolds wrap film behind the RED LED bulbs I replaced the original incandescent bulbs with and these bulbs stand up and command attention. Gently applying sealant of your choice into any small holes and a silicone bead around the edge of the lens before fitting seals out all road grime and water that normally sees into unsealed markings. Exactly the same style of light is much more expedient. - I made an LED with non-replaceable bulbs, but I don't like it because some small light points stop working and some of the remaining ones flicker, making the whole installation cheap and messy. The only solution is to replace all the light. By using this type of replacement bulbs, the LED bulbs of your choice can be used and easily replaced at will. Surround them with one of these chrome light grids and it just doesn't look more impressive!
