Review on Illuminate Your Vehicle With Yorkim 3157 Amber LED Bulbs For Brake And Reverse Lights - Pack Of 10 by Shree Carmean

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The WHITE bulbs - Mediocre for turn signal (NOT due to hyperflashing). but good quality otherwise

This review is for the WHITE led bulbs. The build quality for these bulbs is excellent - they have a solid, rigid feel, and did not break when i repeatedly inserted/removed from the socket. The light is BRIGHT, which makes it ideal for single purpose usage (i.e., only for turn signal and nothing else)HOWEVER, if using for dual purpose (tail lights AND turn signal/brake lights) there is not much difference in light between a regular driving/night light and the turn signal (or brake light) - I can barely see the difference between the 2. Possibly because the LEDs already emit so much light on the regular "on", that when the higher current comes in (when turning switch signal on, or when tapping/hitting the brakes), there's barely a noticeable difference. That has me worried that whoever's behind, may not notice a turn signal or brakes.So, my recommendation for the WHITE led bulbs - do NOT use them as dual purpose (tail lights AND turn signal/brake)! Rather, use the old style incandescent bulbs.

Pros
  • Enjoy the benefits of LED technology, including longer lifespan and energy efficiency
Cons
  • Could potentially cause glare for oncoming traffic
