First off, wolfie's products are amazing.
Secondly, i have been looking for a lighting option for his rear 3rd brake light.

As we know, Culpable came up with an LED strip as a solution: here

Looks good, but i didn't want to mix a LED strip with my non-LED'd rear lights (no, i'm not going to cut open JDM tails to put LEDs in those too).
Even though my solution IS an LED, its not a strip of them and it reflects everywhere. Plug and play, no modification needed.

Purchased from www.v-leds.com / here is the actual bulb

This bulb has 10 radial firing and 3 forward firing LEDs:









Now, i've made quite a deal about 1 LED. smile.gif

...but I need to see what it looks like installed and unlit compared to the LED bulb.


Personally, i don't like the look of the strip option during the day (pic below, thanks to culpable). But as you said, its all personal opinion. wink.gif
