LED Lamps

[mavicator]

Has anyone tried the LED tail light mod offered by Shadetree? Seems like a good way to get a lot of light with minimal current, but I'm wondering how bright it really is and if there is significant loss of brightness when viewing at an angle. - Steve S. - TC8975, LA, CA

Thanks! One last question I missed... Is the operation of the lamps changed in the LED version? The "brake with" and "tail with" photos look identical. - Steve S - TC8975 -----Original Message----- Steve, Only change was the addition of the LED kit. The "before" is about as bright as most of them are - you can buy brighter bulbs but even that doesn't help that much.

One question, was any other electrical work carried out i.e. cleaning connectors? Is the "before" photo really as bright as the lamps should be on a TC? Thanks so much! - Steve - TC8975, LA, CA

Steve, The only change is the guts of the tail lamp. The operation is exactly the same. The tail light goes on with the light switch, and goes brighter with the brakes. It's more noticeable in the evening than at noon...but you're not going to be driving with your lights on at noon anyway. Gene -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

I doubt that Shadetree would sell anything that is not a superior improvement. The owner Skip Kelsey, is on this list.

Steve I put them in my taillamps. They do make a difference and are easy to install. Mike K. Azusa CA [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Skip Kelsey is a first rate guy who sells stuff that works. If it doesn't, he will be the first to tell you. Best, Ray "Morology is our profession, our ONLY profession!"

Yes, I have them installed on my TC and it's hard to believe how much brighter they are, buy them. Gene Roth

Hello all: I would suggest that you look at this website, HYPERLINK "http://www.superbrightleds.com/"www.superbrightleds.com, they have a lot of information on LEDs which replace regular 1157 bulbs. I have contacted them re: positive ground replacement bulbs. The positive ground did not appear to be an issue. However my limited knowledge of electronics questions this.
