Need some help . Just bought a bunch of LED 1157 brake light bulbs and put them in and they do not work , just wondering if anyone else has tried this and what bulb are you using . Thanks in advance for any help .
They work with a regular 1157 bulb but not with the LED bulb. I will see if I can find a turn signal flasher for LED .They are current sensitive and may require special hazard and Turn signal flashers. Do the stop and and tail work at least?
Parking lights work no turn signal and no brake , bulbs work on battery. One side on the bottom of the bulb is brighter than the other post .Define "doesn't work." Does ANYTHING work? Tail lights? Parking lights? Brake lights? No reason brake lights should not work, regardless of the flasher.
You should be able to "jig" the lamps up on a battery / clip lead and see if they actually work
LED Bulb .Parking lights work no turn signal and no brake , bulbs work on battery. One side on the bottom of the bulb is brighter than the other post .
Yea just watch a video on u tube guys say there is a circuit board in the bulb which makes the bulb brighter on one post and a little dimmer on the other one , he said if the bulb was split up half the lights for brake and a few for turn signal. They would work , but because it runs off a circuit board they won't work . Going to try a electronic flasher to see if it will work. What do I know !!!
I took Slant Six Dan's advice and used Philips 12899RX2 bulbs. They worked with the stock flasher unit. The tail lights are as bright as 1157 brakes lights and the LED brake lights are twice as bright. Must have a couple of years on them and no problems.
To do an alert, be sure there is a space before and after. @slantsixdanCuda 69 I’ve just ordered the philips rear ones you stated Any chance anyone one would know of an LED for the front Parker indicator for a 67 Dodge Dart as it’s an bayenet type twin filament but the side contact points are at the same height not off set. They can be white light as my lenses have been painted orange .@slantsixdan
Very informative . Thank you for reposting for me Dan .Exterior lights are crucial safety equipment that keep you (and your car) from getting hit. They have to work right, not just light up and "yup, looks good to me". Read this before deciding there are "no issues" with the fraudulent trinkets offered by SuperBrightLeds and a zillion other vendors all over the internet. There is no legitimate LED 1157 that will work effectively, safely, and legally in the '67 Dart front turn signal, because it's got Fresnel-type optics (see link at the top of this paragraph for explanation).
$65 is too much to pay for the Philips brake bulbs; see here.
The flasher to use is this one (2-prong like original; connect its ground wire conveniently).
So all the LEDs sold by Superbright leds are "fraudulent trinkets" , just because they don't make one that'll work on a '67 Dart front turn signal? Based on 67gt's description, a #1157 won't fit it anyways.
How do you know this? Have you tested every LED design in every car? There are thousands of possibilities.No. Most of the "LED bulbs" on the market, including all of them offered for vehicle exterior lights by SuperBrightLeds, are fraudulent trinkets.
