My LEDs

My interior uses the T-10 wedge base for bulbs like 921,194/168 ect.

I tried several Different LED replacement bulbs from VLed and Autolumination but they were all too dim and too blue, and despite little use, these bulbs have LED's which are out. The Light from autolumination does not dim with voltage as do all the others.

In the above Photo, the bulb on the far left was 4 for 5$ free shipping at Amazon. XKGLOW. This is my favorite bulb as it is white and bright without the blue and runs cool at 120f

I bought the 9 SMD bulb (EZMotoring) to its right hoping it wold be brighter. It is, by maybe 10%, but more blue, and a disappointment, and runs upto 150f. I ordered XKGlow's 9 SMD version hoping for same white light color and increased intensity. Still awaiting delivery

The Amico 42SMD bulb to its right is the brightest, and the bluest, but not very much brighter than the XKGLOW, maybe 15%. I have 4 of them, they vary from 140 to 170f

The Red LED bulb I got for my Dashboard gauges. Failed experiment as there are green filters which allow no red light to pass. These bulbs are not very bright, but when placed in my side marker exterior lights, light up the lens better than a 194 incandescent. The Amico 42 SMD bulbs in these fixtures were only slightly brighter, and pinker. The red lens seems to really attenuate the bluish white LED light, but allowed all the red LED light to pass unmolested.

These ZONETECH red LED bulbs run Hot! 180F. An incandescent 194 bulb runs 130f. I have little hope of their longevity with those temperatures.

I also bought a 1156 light for my reverse lights to replace the incandescent 1141 bulb.
Toptom brand with a CREE LED. Suspect QC as there are fingerprints on the lens inside the bulb, and one of the 2 did not work. A new one is being sent. These Cree powered 1156 bulbs would work great in a reading light/ task light fixture. The light is extremely bright and white but unfortunately the blue aluminum heatsink allows a blue tinge to escape my reverse light. I am not sure if I am going to use them for the reverse light. While they might provide more light for me when backing up, I think the incandescent bulbs will be more visible to other drivers in strong daylight when backing out of a parking spot.


All bulbs above were bought through Amazon.

I am still hoping to acquire a ridiculously bright T-10 LED bulb. I think this might do the trick but is more than I care to spend:
