This info used to be posted on the Canada Club GP but its gone. There was info for bright blubs inside and out, one was tail light blubs (good for guys with darker tails). Anyone have this info?
Thanks

Shawn, I dont have an answer for you, but I am going to watch this thread because we had a discussion going on about the affect of tinted tails on light output, particularly during the day.
02-02-2008
i'm sure there must be some brighter bulbs, but with brighter comes more heat... i'm sure there's a fine line in there that might be too warm
though i remebmer seeing somewhere 55W backup lights.....
02-02-2008
Bringing up the heat is a good point. I wonder if there is anyway to determine where the cut off point would be other than real world experimentation?

but, i suppose there is a decent amount of space in the light, so it shouldnd be THAT sensitive

would a small vent hole help it also? In a place that wouldn't let in water of course
02-02-2008
I was thinking about that earlier. One on top or over the top of the bulb would be good, but then, of course, you have the possibility of water intrusion. You could put one on the bottom but , of course, heat rises so it probably wouldnt be all that effective.
You would be better off with something that gave you a little air flow I would think.

LED anyone?
02-02-2008
Would they be bright enough to deal with the NightShade during the daytime?
02-02-2008
3457.
02-02-2008
LED's are bright! plus take less power...less heat.
02-02-2008
This is true, but are they bright enough to get through the NightShade coatings?
02-02-2008
i have a feeling they would be.
it's times like these that i wish i had my old automotive lighting spec book
02-02-2008
Well if that is the case, I may have to find me a spare set of tail lights and try that out.

didnt think they were that much brighter?

you'll still need to add in the resistor modules, if you dont want to hack up your flasher.
--- but ---
guess what?
i've come up with a plug and play solution for the resistor modules

Thanks BNB. Any idea on how much brighter these are? What are stock blub sizes?
02-03-2008
See, there you go teasing us again. We need details man, details
guess what?

LEDs are NOT brighter than bulbs in housings designed for bulbs. Same principles apply for installing HIDs into reflector housings. LEDs are a point-source emitter, not a spherical light source like a tungsten filament bulb. The 3457 bulb is the brightest of the 3x57 class of S8 dual-filament bulb. 3157 = 32 MSCD, 3457 = 40 MSCD. By comparison, the 9007 bulb is rated for 80/107 MSCD. You can also modify your flasher module to accommodate LEDs in any combination, rather than hack up your wiring by installing those silly load resistors...
