Brake & Tail lights ordered last wed. they arrived Fri.
Installed today they are bright/very nice.
The flashers flash quicker than the incandescent blubs.
I guess that's okay.
Thanks Etarga.

wwest, you may want to consider some dignity and start your own thread and avoid further hijacking. Have some class!

I just installed the new super brights in my gauges and they are really no brighter! Just a different color. Still hard to see. I will go back to the original bulbs. At least they had a cool look about them.

Nick, did you try mine? I don't recall sending you my LEDs? I guarantee you they are a lot brighter than stock 'candles'.

Hey, Etarga
Why don't you put this whole thing to bed once and for all and show us ONE SINGLE picture where one gauge has your LED's and another gauge of the same size and same # of bulbs has the $1.49 white superbrights?

Before and after with ETarga Vintage. I had the camera on manual exposure to keep the exposure constant for a true comparison.

I don't think etarga needs to do that at all, since there are dozens if not more of us who will state under oath that his bulbs are SIGNIFICANTLY brighter than both the factory bulbs and the SuperBrightLED bulbs.

I would consider them to be 3-4 times brighter. I ran the SuperBright bulbs for 2 years, and never found them to be any better than the factory bulbs (except for the power usage). These new Etarga bulbs are grad level lighting in comparison.

I also tried the "premium" superbrightleds and found them wanting, which is why I did my own.

If you are not happy with our comments and PHOTOS, then you are free not to spend another minute worrying about these excellent lights.

I have had them in my 911 for almost a year and there is no way to compare. Much easier to see, brighter and wish I had done this years ago!

Last night I installed a set of eTargas dash LEDs and what a significant improvement. Was thinking of sending the gauges off to be refaced with new factory bulbs since they are so poor at night but not now
