    Calipso I ordered a bulb with I think 20 LED's but I could not install it so I had to give them away. The head of the bulb was too big to fit in the hole ( ok that did not sound right) The switchback bulbs were a tight fit but did work. Their shipping was fast and answered all questions pretty fast. I would buy from them again. I emailed them with my questions and the answered, once I decided to get them they sent me a paypal receipt and the bulbs were at my house in about 2 or 3 days. They also have ebay auctions that you can check out.

    That bulb you posted in the original post did look a little big for the hole. I'm probably going to order a smaller one with LED's on the top and side. They are priced very nice. Now I have a question.

    What is a good replacement for 2157 bulbs? I know there has to be another bulb size that can fit the application. I've tried 1157's in the past and they don't operate in 2157 sockets. I want to replace my brake lights w/LEDs because I've always hated crappy stock bulbs.

    isn't the blink rate controlled by the flasher/ecu and not by the bulb itself.

    was asking because of the way it switches from one filament to the next... if the circuit to the parking filament opens then the signal flashes... there might be a small delay on that switch over and it would be very apperent w/ my mirror led's. i reversed my bright rewire to sync up all my signal lights and don't want to have the fronts doing their own thing...

    o anthoer question since i'm working this out mentally, when the signal blinks, do the white led's light up between amber flashes?

    looking at the pictures of the bulbs and looking at hte video, it looks like hte bulbs are dual color led's with two prongs. when polarity is reverse on the led's the colors switch between white and amber.
