Tex06 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Bought a set of Sylvania ZEVO bulbs last night. Lifetime warranty, 6000k, bright as hell. Price matched at Autozone to wally world's $21.72. The bulb is a little too big for the Comanche socket so I took my Dremel and trimmed the socket to make it fit. Holy crap bright. The pics don't do it justice but the clean white light is much easier to see through my tinted windows.

mikekaz1 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Was it $21 each or for the pair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Wow, they must be bright. I couldn't even see the white car in the before picture. :rotfl2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tex06 Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 Was it $21 each or for the pair?$21 for the pair. I figure over the life of the truck I'd replace regular bulbs at least twice (at $5/set). So only double the cost.

benjy_26 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Nice! Do they have any effect on your blinkers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex06 Posted April 21, 2016 Author Share Posted April 21, 2016 Nice! Do they have any effect on your blinkers?Only on the backup lights, so no! I'd imagine if I put them in the brake/blinker slots I'd have to install a resistor. Sent from atop the porcelain throne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjy_26 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Cool. I'll have to pick up a pair. My back up lights SUCK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikekaz1 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 rather then using a resistor and losing half the benefit of LED lights ( energy savings). you should upgrade your flasher relay from a thermal flasher to an electronic flasher. its about $10 and completely prevents the "fast flash" of the blinkers If there is an amp change, whether its less amps ( dead bulb or LED lights) or its more amps (trailer lights or plow) this is the round relay on the fuse box under the drivers dash. it takes all of 10 seconds to swap out the relays .

EBay? I'd like to get a set of these for my motorcycle. It's less about efficiency and more about not having extra splices and failure points (resistors don't like vibrations).
