jgi420 Posted September 14, 2024 Report Posted September 14, 2024 So I was thinking about upgrading my brake lights to LEDs their a turn signal combination. So it's brake light and turn signal and the lens is Red, so what has happened is probably the vibration from the bass from the system being pretty loud every so often A bulb goes out this is the brake light So I was thinking about replacing them with LEDs because they don't have a filament in them to rattle apart and separate Now I do not know anything about LEDs except for they didn't seem to work on a moped that I had because that was a pulse type of system. It had a generator. You know it's got a coil and a condenser so when you give it gas the light would get brighter on the brake light and pulsing causes the light light to flicker every so often. So based on that they didn't work out very well for me in the past when I use them on a moped So I'm thinking about using them on on my car and I've got the ballast or whatever the two things that look like small ballasts to prevent hyper flashing. Now I just need to get the bulbs I was told by somebody else that LEDs would probably last the life of a car and I wouldn't have no more problems. Just trying to see if that's the route I should go. Do most of you guys run LEDs? If you can am I the only one that has this problem where the vibration from the bass eventually separates the filament. Then the bulb is only half good or it doesn't work at all I believe that's what happened turning my stereo up too much. Eventually blew the bulbs on one of my brake lights is out
