New 3157 style LED? (pics)
Was surfing the net and stumbled across this fairly new type of 3157 bulb LED replacement. They come in white, amber, and red. Looks like it'd be pretty high powered:
Specifications:
I also found ones that LOOK identical on Autolumination's website:
Does anybody have experience with these exact LEDs? My plan was to use them or the amber versions for DRLs and/or the red versions for the brake lights. I don't see a lot of heatsink surface area though so I'm a little hesitant about purchasing them.
Specifications:
LEDs: 5-Watt
LED Type: L21 High-Power SMD
Lumens: 200
Color: White
LED Type: L21 High-Power SMD
Lumens: 200
Color: White
10 Watt Eagle EYE SMT Tower
5x 2 watt High Powered Rectangular Chip SMT LEDS
These Bulbs have Advanced Surface Mount Technology LEDS + Advanced Patented Circuitry
4 high powered SMT side facing LEDS - 1 high powered SMT forward facing LED
Only 19mm diameter x 59mm overall - fits all stock housings

The bulbs are too far out from the base, so they do not light up the reflector very well. Vleds has some high power white bulbs that work much better with the stock relectors...OR there are some on ebay, which are 13W with 13 SMDs on each bulb that aim into the reflectors a little better.

Also, I'm not looking to light up the reflector too well, as I have another project or two in mind (if you search my threads you may find them). Just want A LOT of light output.
How about a link to the V-LEDs ones you speak of?

They have two different kinds, 5K and 6K, which are the same price. I have the 5K. You'll notice that they placed the bulbs close to the base...

I found another version:
And a warning from another seller:
So apparently it can take up to 28V, but not for longer than 1 minute.
... and a website where you may be able to get them cheaper:

LED drop-ins in standard bulb reflector housings tend not to work so great however.

LEDs are very directional, so if you have them right they can be brighter, or at least more intense. I have LED tails in my trailblazer and they are certainly brighter looking and more visible in fog and such than the original tails.

I am not another one of those people that buys $5 Autozone LEDs and puts them in my tail lights, then makes an assumption that all LEDs are bad. Just in-case you didn't know...

Edit: I had been thinking about using some of the semi truck style amber circles to replace my DRLs on my Formula bumper, but decided it would be a last-resort.
FYI, the measurements for the lenses on the Formula DRL and a Formula/TA foglight are:
Formula DRL: 95mm
Fogs: 115mm

I have the V-leds 3157's in 5k. One of them failed within a year. No water inside the housing either. I wouldn't recommend them honestly. Especially since they cost me a lot of money. $60.00 with tax and shipping.. :/
