    1157 LED taillight bulbs

    I have installed 1157 LED from Walmart in the two tail section bulbs

    They are as bright or brighter than regular incandescent 1157

    I think its this one but there was only one RED type in the store with a stack of cree elements

    http://www.walmart.com/ip/Auto-Car-5...2-Pcs/46547086

    I have a signal dynamics voltage indicator which previously with a Gerbing would show
    red (low Voltage) with the brake light on at idle.

    The indicator remain green with the brake on which is over 13.75 volts

    PS I do recommend the signal dynamics as a voltage indicator

    Double check that the LEDs are as bright as the incandescent bulbs from off-angles. I tried some LED bulbs in my bike tail lights and they were fine straight back, but was really dim at off-angles. Made my brake lights less effective than I preferred I went back to regular bulbs. Perhaps they are better now though, this was a few years back.
