Putco 243157R-360 Red 3157 Plasma LED Bulb

I used these Red LED's on a 2015 GMC Terrain tail/stop lamps.. I felt the stock original tail lights were too dim. When I first installed them, I got hyper flashing in the turn signal mode. I wanted to replace the flasher, but found there was no flasher on the Terrain/Equinox. These like many of the newer vehicle utilize a BCM (Body Control Module) The BCM is a computer of sorts that operate the turn signals, 4-ways, lighting, warning chimes, etc. Since there is no flasher relay; the only was to eliminate hyper flashing is to wire in two 50 watt, 6 ohm load resistors per tail lamp, I also got these on Amazon. They have all the parts needed for inhalation. These lights are at least 35% brighter than the stock lights. They are also a more vivid red hue. I highly recommend these lights.

Yes, these are expensive lights, but they function great and are well worth the price! I have had various LED lights in a few cars over the years and my biggest complaint has always been that the lights are either too dim to be seen during the day, or that there was not enough of a difference between the low brightness (for tail lights/parking lights) and high brightness (brake light/turn signals). These bulbs not only are bright enough to be seen from a distance during the day, just like stock incandescents, but also have a noticeable difference between low and high illumination modes. I have to say that these are, by far, the best LED lights that I have ever tried and will be ordering another set in amber to replace the LED bulbs that I currently have in use for the front parking lights/turn signals.

I normally try to stay away from negative reviews, but these bulbs did not come close to fitting my from turn signals on my 2007 FJ. It said it would fit, but is not even close. Due to Amazon's policy, you only get 30 days to return. I had some personal problems arise, and missed the cutoff. Now in stuck with them. Waste of money.

Due to Toyota using both positives and ground to control the daytime/parking/blinker lamp (amber), it did not work properly. I will say the tech support and customer was good by telephone, handled by a human (appreciated).

I had these (red) in my 2005 dodge ram. I feel they were marginally as bright or brighter than the filament bulbs. But for the price I put my filament bulbs back in. The flasher didn't care for these at all - to the point that instead of a hyperflash they got a strobe flash to about 30 beats a minute and when I hit the brakes the brake lights just stayed on. Not sure if they didn't play well with the system on my truck or what. I expected a hyper-flash but not the odd strobe effect. These have been on par with other LED bulbs I have tried in terms of brightness, light projection etc but not exceptionally different.

I ordered two sets of these bulbs. Being the obsessive person I am, I installed the first set in one taillamp to compare to my original incandescents. SO far so good. Bulbs are brighter and a deeper red! Excellent. Good differentiation between the parking and brake brightness. So I go and get the other set and I see something very different. A silver bulb base instead of black. Three TINY LEDs in each side spot and three TINY LEDs in the from spot. The first set I tested has a black base, One LED in each side spot and Two LEDs in the front spot. I thought well I should try them anyway. Not nearly as bright or red. Looked just like my incandescent bulb. Needless to say I'm returning the second and ordering again expecting a black base bulb. Will try to upload pictures.

incredibly bright. perfect fit in a Ford calling for a 3156 bulb. pic on amazon is incorrect. expensive yes, but worth it.

Exactly what I wanted and needed. Came in very good protective packaging.
