LED taillamp bulbs

[Mopar-Man]

Watch out for these "switchback" type bulbs. On my other "brand-x" car I was coming home at night from a cruise in and had a street rod pulls up beside be yelling "brake lights don't work right!" These 1157 LED bulbs are MAYBE 6 months old. Everything worked correctly when I put it together but now the park and brake circuits have somehow reversed themselves! That's right, when I put on the brakes my lights now get DIMMER. I could have been rear ended and this explains why several cars were right on my bumper as I was stopping at traffic lights. I removed all 4 and put stock 1157 bulbs back in and everything works correctly.

Be safe!!!

They definitely are not reliable. I had pretty expensive led bulbs in my Rams fog lights. One quit working after 8 months so I ordered another. I think they were about 40 bucks a piece. Got the new one and a week later the other one quit. I put the factory bulbs back in.
