Review on Alla Lighting 39 SMD Chipsets Xtremely by Daniel Jackson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Bright bulbs, but a warning.

Installed as front turn signals on Mazda Miata MX-5 2012. It fits well, I installed the TapTurn module, so there are no problems with hyperflashing. Much brighter than the standard bulb, which I like, so I have a feeling people will notice me more. And now a warning: today I discovered that one of the lightbulbs fell apart! The black ring around the tab that holds the projector lens is actually screwed into the lamp body. Well, mine kind of loosened up over time and fell off. So now the ring and the little lens in my headlight were spinning. I had to remove the front bumper and headlight to gently shake out those tiny details. Took a few hours, royal pain. I put red Loctite screw lock on the rings of both bulbs to hopefully keep them from falling apart again. Generally happy with the lamps (I have several others from this manufacturer) but I would be very unhappy if they fell apart again. I think I should take out all the other pears and thread them in as a preventive measure.
