Infinite Reality's LED Thread

Ordered some Samsung amber LED 3157 bulbs to replace my front signal LEDs. They said 12 LEDs, but I think they got it confused with a lower count LED one they sell. This should be 22 LEDs, least what I'm counting. Will report back on how much brighter they are. They should be a very nice upgrade.

Just got done trying the new amber 22 LED Samsung bulbs... WOW, easily 2x brighter than the original LED bulbs I had. The brightness difference between the parking lights and the signals is WAY more noticeable as well. Overall DEFINITELY worth the upgrade to me. I was surprised, not much length difference between the 2 bulbs too.

The downside is the LEDs are orange colored, as well as the base. After installing the first one, I decided to wrap some electrical tape around the base of the second one prior to installing and it definitely made a difference looking into the lense when they're off. Of course I had to pull the first headlight out again and do the same to that one. They're badass, when they're an addition to the amber evil eye halos and the 2 LED strips per side inside the headlights, talk about awesome looking lighting when you unlock your doors at night!!

we need some action shots! hyperflash?

I tried to get some side by side pictures of difference but camera wouldn't pick it up. Both looked bright, lol!

No hyperflash with these or with the other ones and I'm running stock tails now too. I'd bet these draw more current than the old ones (as you can see these have heat sink) so "should" be less hyperflash issues but seems every Raptor is different when only replacing the front signals with LEDs.

got ya thanks

i'm going to have to try these out.
I'm looking for a High current draw from a LED bulb to incorporate with the tail lights.
Do these get hot when on for a while?

These could be ticket. I honestly didn't feel them after been on for a while for running light or signal. I'm just making a logical guess since they're basically a heat sink surrounding the small LED boards.

I did have same idea that you're talking about, I'm kind of hoping that with these, I can try out my Spyder LED tails again, just to see if these pull enough current to make them operate properly...

In fact, I'll be up for a bit... I'll go give one side a shot right now... It'd be pure luck everything works after all the scenario's I've been thru with trying to get the Spyder LED tails to work, but worth a shot.

Tried just drivers side.. It all works BUT when truck is running and brake is pressed, it has hyper flash.

yes this is an issue I have as well. When the truck is just sitting there not running it works fine but as soon as you start it the hyper flash starts.
I think that might be due to the fact that you increase the voltage output to the lights when running changing the load measurement.
just a guess.

Is the list of LEDs in the first post up to date? I'm about to start shopping. Thanks.

I believe so sir
