These have been on back-order since early May and it was mid May before they were available for pre-order. I found out today by visiting the site and checking my account, that I have a USPS tracking number for the order I put in.

These should perform better than the Super-Brights I had a while back. I only ordered the one pair to see how they perform before I bite the bullet and outfit the whole car. It should only be two more pair of amber V-stars plus a red, amber and white pair of 194 replacements. Still up in the air on what I want for reverse lights.

Can't wait to see how they look and perform. I've been waiting a long time for somebody to be the test dummy.

I think I'm pretty satisfied with these. We'll see when I get a look with the sun on them. They light up my tinted lenses pretty good with no hot spots in the center. Also, the difference between brake and tail is more significant than the ones from Super-Bright LEDs. Might be time to fill the rest of the holes Cool

Nice, I might have to get some of those. One of my brake bulbs went out, so I need to get something anyway, I had been looking at the super-bright-led stuff, but it looks like pricewise those are on par, and perform better.

I got a shot of them with the sun on them today. Same as the first, I started with the lights on so I could see the difference between tail lights and brake lights.

Very Nice! I gotta come up with a flasher, then I'll get some for the Mazda.

Does the RX7 use a flasher integrated into the turn signal switch Paul? Seems like it might.. but don't remember for sure.

Brake/Tail are seperate from the signal. But I want to do the signal too so people can see that better.

I'll need to buy 6 bulbs!

I think it uses a regular flasher. I don't think it's in the switch.

Cool, much easier.

Those bulbs look like they work much better then the ones you first tried Al.
