Most LED drop ins do not work correctly replacing a halogen bulb. Especially those with dimpled reflectors behind a smooth lens.
But that will never stop anyone.
The electronic flasher is not a cure all. I have basic reflectors and tried LEDS on all four dual filament 1157s. 2 1157s works fine, All 4 and no workee Starts acting extremely wacky..
Front Amber LEDS were Obscenely bright and dangerous. When back to Incandescent 3196 up front and kept the rear red 1157 LEDs as these were bright and visible from all angles with enough difference from low to high to be very obvious.
I see lots of LED bulbs in halogen signal lights/ Some are good, Some are OK, Some are horrid and I automatically detract 50 IQ points from the driver who thought LED = Improvement no matter what.
