Default 7 Watt LEDs



I installed a pair of these new 7 watt LEDs on my 90' S4. I purchased the Amber 1157 and installed them on my front.

They are as bright as the incandescent marker lights and slightly brighter than incandencent as turn signals.

They fit the sockets without modification, but you do need to consider the bulb control module modification or installing resistor packs. I had already defeated my bulb control module (see my earlier post).

What's nice about these LED bulbs besides the brightness, is they are very compact for LED bulbs and nicely fill out the highly curved reflectors on the front.

Good to know. I haven't yet addressed the exteriro bulb conversion on my GTS to LED and Xenon. I think this may be a summer project for me since I sold my other cars. I will do a write up on that when I'm done too.

Thanks

Borland,
Thanks for the tip. Kinda been out of the loop on LED auto apps. Good to see they're up to 7W, with 3W forward facing and 4W peripheral. This might be worth trying out..... once the 10W come out and the 7W prices drop. $50 for 2.... ouch. Let see if I can find the Eastern mfg. and buy direct, like i did the last time.
