Review on Nanpoku T5 LED Bulbs 74 73 37 2721 LED Bulb Canbus Error Free: Amber Indicator Lights for Car Dashboard & Instrument Panel by Victor Garro

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Color not exact: spare parts

I ordered yellow bulbs. The color is just warm white. They might find use later in another project, so it's not worth going back. Also, I've already modified them by changing the default resistance from 150 ohms to 400 (SMD 1206); the current drops from 30 mA to 12 mA. I do this for automotive LEDs whenever possible, happy to sacrifice a few lumens for longevity and actual light output is negligible. In fact, I find these bulbs, regardless of brand, to be too bright for their intended purpose, so this mod is a win-win. But still annoyed, because now I have to wait another week while I order a replacement from another seller and have to disassemble it properly. You should be happy with any other color but avoid amber from this seller. Unless you absolutely want a warm white light, which I personally find to be the preferred replacement for traditional incandescent bulbs.

Pros
  • sensors
Cons
  • thin
