Description of SYLVANIA 1156 Amber LED Bulb Pack of 2

Lights Dim Over Time, Replace In Pairs: Your lights are a pair, one is never turned on without the other. If one bulb burns out, the other isn't far behind. Instant Illumination: Unlike incandescent bulbs, LEDs illuminate immediately. This "instant-on" technology offers the added safety benefit of giving drivers around you more time to react. Superior Performance: Sylvania LEDs are manufactured with bright, long-lasting, SMD LED bulbs and a thermal management system that extends life and increases performance. May Require A Load Equalizer For Optimum Performance: To help prevent hyper flashing and bulb out warnings, it is suggested that a load equalizer or resistor be installed. See Sylvania's Load Equalizer product. The Sylvania Standard Of Quality: With over 100 years in business, Sylvania is the world leader in automotive lighting for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and the aftermarket.

My car doesn't recognize this bulb

After installing it works for a day and then a message pops up on my car panel to replace it the next day. The bulbs are fine again after changing the bulbs on each side of the taillight, then the same thing happened again on the same day of use. I don't think my car recognizes this LED bulb even though the advert says it fits my car.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Some difficulties

2014 VW Passat does not recognize this as a valid bulb

Like other reviews, my 2014 VW Passat does not always recognize this as a working lightbulb. When I start the car I usually have a burned out light on the dashboard for a few seconds. This also happens every time I use the bulb (in the turn signal). The resistance of this bulb has not been increased (compared to a simple LED) to fool the lamp monitor on the car that the bulb is still good. I expected something like this from a fake brand but not from SYLVANIA.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • So so

Turn signal problem with bulbs

When I installed these bulbs as front turn signal/marker lights on a 2003 Accord they were not as bright as incandescent bulbs. However, they are significantly brighter as turn signals. But the bulbs exhibited a phenomenon called "hyperflashing" even though bulbs were still installed in the taillights. These bulbs need load resistors so they don't work like strobe lights. These items are cheap but I didn't want to go that route. I have sent the bulbs back and will either stick with incandescent

Pros
  • handy item
Cons
  • old

The item pictured is not what you get and worse they don't work

Firstly when you order these 7506R LED bulbs you will NOT receive what is pictured on Revain or the one is Sylvania website. They look like a cheap version (12 month warranty) of a ZEVO 7506R lamp (lifetime warranty). Second, I bought two types of LED bulbs recommended for my car by the Sylvania website. One guy was ZEVO and they worked great. The second type was these lightbulbs and none of the lightbulbs worked. I mean NO LIGHT AT ALL, even in the same cartridge I installed ZEVO in. Spend…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • I won't tell

A bad redesign has ruined these once perfect LED bulbs.

I have been using and recommending them in the original style (with photo) for 2-3 years now. Exceeded my expectations in every respect. I have never seen an LED car lamp that is so perfectly white. The light output was evenly distributed and the brightness was excellent. Unfortunately, Sylvania redesigned and ruined the lamp. The new design does not offer 360° light output like the old design and is not as bright or white. The odd way the LEDs are aimed at the base of the bulb itself makes it…

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Vulgarity
