#59000, "1157/1156 LED cluster bulbs (jerseystyle I think knows best) help"




          

I need help. I know Jersey works w/ LED alot. I once had some (6) 1157 LED "bulbs" in my all clear tail lights but when I hit the brakes they wouldnt get any brighter! WTF! They were all jacked up any way I tossed em. So I now know that the outer most bulbs have to be 1156 not 1157. So will this make a difference and whats the best place to get em??? cheap place? I am putting some all clears in again and this time I have NO 3rd brake light so what can I do??? and I see the ones on ebay that have 15 LED's thats what I want but dont ALL the LEDs light up at one constant brightness, wont they all just remain lighted at that same Brightness when I brake. Uugg. Help people

if you buy the 1157 led bulbs it will stay dim until you press on the brake which at time will get brighter

Look at the sockets for all 3 lights per side. As you can see they are all the same, meaning they all take the 1157. They will stay dim with just the lights on and they will get brighter with the brake. THe problem you had was just a bad batch of LED's. Happen to me before also. There is a difference in the voltage that will make your signals go faster. The best place I have delt with is www.autolumination.com SHipping is kinda slow, but besides for that they rock. There is also a load equalizer on there that will fix the turn signal problem. Hope this help
