Good Performance (Toyota RAV4)

I've tried several sets of LED bulbs in my daughter's 2015 Toyota RAV4 (which oddly doesn't have LED brake lights, although earlier models did!). I don't know if this is due to the design of the reflector housing or if there are just a lot of poor quality products out there, but I've had trouble finding replacement LED bulbs that work as well as standard incandescent bulbs. the only bulbs so far (after four or five tries with other designs, including expensive well-known brand names that you can buy in Wally's World) that perform similarly to traditional incandescent bulbs (and they were the cheapest!). Two notes on why I didn't give five stars: 1) The bulbs can be a little dimmer (maybe just as bright, but not brighter) than standard incandescent bulbs, while I was hoping to find something brighter. However, it is difficult to even compare them side by side as the light output differs in color. They are indeed red, while the standard bulbs were white, making the light appear more orange through the lens housing. Otherwise the output is bright and I left them on because they glow MUCH faster than an incandescent bulb. 2) The difference/contrast between running light and brake light is not as great as with standard bulbs (ie with these running lights). brighter and the brake lights may be a little dimmer). This reduces the difference in contrast when the position lights are on (not good!). For the price I would definitely recommend these bulbs (until I find something even brighter).
