They are more expensive than most. No argument here! And they are some really bright light too! I was willing to spend the money for my Vision.
The brightness level is personal preference? I guess when people stop saying "I didn't see the motorcycle"......I'll also stop trying to make my Vision visible from space?
Did you get the white or red LED bulbs?

I used the red light bulbs. |

Rancho Cucamonga, CA | A red LED will put its rated lumens out in the 630-670nm (red) wavelength . The taillight lens does not filter out any of this wavelength, so you see the entire amount of light that the bulb has to offer.
A white LED spreads its rated lumens out from 420-800nm wavelength. The taillight lens then filters out all but the red (630-670nm) reducing the lumen output to just that bandwidth.
You should always buy an LED in the color you want to see instead of using a filter to make it that color. You are losing most of the light a white LED emits to the filter(lens).

Hi all, I need a LED bulb that lights up when I press the flashing amber and red when I hit the brake. This lamp is there?. I want to put in the back of my vision because in Spain the middle lamp is not lit
I am not aware of any bulbs, LED or standard, that will provide 3 outputs. You are asking for one that will be..
1. Low intensity RED (running lights)
2. High intensity RED (brake lights)
3. High intensity AMBER (turning/hazards)
If you want to give up the running lights, there are LEDs that change from RED to AMBER, but you would also have to rewire the harness for this to work. |

Look at my diagram. There are 4 lights for braking/running - you need 4 RED LED's. And 2 AMBER - so 2 AMBER LED's. The lights are available in RED, AMBER and WHITE. |

Rancho Cucamonga, CA | What it sounds like Adolfoch is asking for, is a bulb for the upper position that will flash amber when turning and red when braking. Any bulb that can do that would not be able to be a running light as well and would also need the harness to be rewired to add a braking circuit to the upper bulbs.
For anyone looking for the brightest LEDs on the market (pricey) Autolumination.com now has a 22w LED 3157 bulb.
