Review on ๐Ÿš— Upgrade Your Ride with JDM ASTAR PX Chips: Super Bright Amber Yellow Turn Signal LED Bulbs for 7440 7441 7443 7444 Models by William Fowler

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fits, bright, looks good

Ordered Saturday 28th February arrived Monday 2nd March from California to Florida in 2 days. The installation went without any problems, parking sensors and turn signals work on both lamps. The LED bulb is about 1/2 inch longer than the incandescent bulb. I was concerned about having enough space for them, but no problem. Amber is not as dark as an incandescent lamp. The photos show the bulb on the passenger side, the new LED on the driver's side. Update: I noticed that when the turn signal flashes, the "parking light" part of the LED is still on. So when the turn signal function works, the light does not go out completely. So you have your parking lights on all the time, then the turn signal part will flash when you turn on the turn signal. I thought that when you turn on the turn signal, the parking lights go out. When the parking lights are on, it becomes more difficult to see the blinking turn signal. Maybe I reversed the LED, but if it was reversed it doesn't seem to work. So maybe it's my misunderstanding of the function of this light, or maybe it's just how the machine works. I'll have to put the bulb back in and see if the parking lights stay on when the turn signal is on. But I'm not deducting the stars from the rating. I've just never checked the bulb to see if the parking assist goes off when the turn signal flashes. I have to reset it and see. Will update after I check the bulb. March 7, 2015: I put in an incandescent bulb and it works like this LED. the running light stays on when the turn signal element is flashing. this is how the machine works. It does not turn off the running light when the turn signal is working. but the incandescent lamp shines brighter. But maybe that's because it's a darker amber color. The LED is brighter. But the LED lamp dangles a little in the cartridge. I think if you hit a rough road or train track the bulb may fall out of the socket. I could take the bulb out and see if I can tape some tape to the base of the LED bulb, but I need to cut slits to allow the metal wires to make contact with the terminals in the socket. Tape (a piece of tape about 1 inch long, just fold it over the bottom of the lamp base) on either side of the base of both lamps, cut a slit for the wire so it will contact the socket and fit much more tightly. These are aftermarket headlights so I don't know if the loose fit is the connector on the aftermarket headlights or the bulb, but a quick piece of tape and a few minutes fixed the problem.
