[DeTomaso] LED Brake Lights - Plasma Bulbs

[Garth Rodericks]

Product Review - Two enthusiastic thumbs up!

I had an LED light kit from the Space Cities Panteras crew which I've been really pleased with, but I felt the brake lights were a little underwhelming.  They were about equally as bright as the original filament bulbs, but definitely no brighter.  


In my quest for brighter brake lights I found a review and recommendation for Red Plasma LED bulbs from West Coast Cougar.  They're a bit pricey, but I thought I'd give them a try.  Anyway, they are definitely brighter than my old LED bulbs!  And they're much brighter when viewed off-angle than the old LED bulbs were.

You can probably find some cheap Chinese versions of the same bulb, but supposedly the guys at WCCC tested a number of different ones with less than satisfactory results before discovering these.

Attached are a few comparison pictures...

The bulb on the left is the Plasma LED, and the bulb on the right is the SMD LED (old style).

Cheers!
