Review on πŸ’‘ Sylvania ZEVO 1156 White LED Bulb - Pack of 2: Enhanced Brightness and Performance by Byron Forman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good replacement for incandescent bulbs but expensive

These LEDs were used to replace 1157 brake/tail lights on an old muscle car. I decided to replace my old bulbs with LEDs because the old bulbs warped the plastic housings of my taillights due to the heat generated by the old bulbs. These LEDs generate virtually no heat, so they prevent further deformation of the case. Another important aspect is the light output of LEDs compared to older light sources. Some LEDs pass this test miserably, but not this one. The luminous flux is very similar to the old incandescent lamps. In fact, I feel like the LEDs emit more light when the brake is pressed. This is a safety plus - anything you can do to improve traffic light visibility is good.

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
