I know Id have the info at home, but was gunna pick some new globes up on my way home this arv.

A few years back I fitted LED stop/tail and ind lamps. I think they might be to directional and dont light the plastic lens up as well as a standard filament lamp.

So what is the recommended wattage of stop/tail and ind lamps?


These are they ones currently fitted:

Yeah I reckon they're too directional as well, you'd need some sort of diffuser on a mini tailight.

Are you after the original spec lamp ratings? Brake is dual filament 21W+5W & the indicator is just a single 21W.

cheers

Anyone want a free set of LED indicators and Stop/Tail lamps?

The standard filament globes are much better!!!!!

I have seen a lot of the LED 'bulbs' available for retro fit as a replacement for the stock filiment types but they all say (to the effect) that they are not suitable for road use. Maybe this is why?

They might b kinda ok with the LEDS around the outside of them. But I found they just weren't as bright as a filament globe.
