Reply to "LED Conversion - turn signal indicator problem"

I got the Space City kit and PE (Jon Haas) kit for the brake lights. Both are super simple installs, both work as advertised. An objective review -

Space City kit is a standard base bulb, with many 'radial fire' LEDS gang-mounted around bulb area. (Photos coming.) Basically occupies same space as original bulb.

Pantera Electronics kit is a composite 'panel' of LEDS, evenly spaced across board, which essentially 'fills' brake light housing.

Space City kit disperses an 'oval' light pattern within the brake light well, filling perhaps 70%-75% of the area with light.

Pantera Electronics kit fills brake light well completely, evenly.

Both kits install quickly.
Both kits have FASTER reaction than incandescent. (I tested both.) This alone worthy of consideration by anyone on this board who'd consider additional stopping/warning as a bonus.

Bottom Line: Pantera Electronics kit, in usual Jon Haas fashion, is expertly engineered and Pantera-specific. It is expectedly more expensive.

Space City kit accomplishes task with non Pantera specific application, yet with marginally lesser light output.

* Space City kit came with blinker bulbs. My flasher did not require additional wiring, blinkers are both faster AND brighter. Another bonus.

I would not go back to incandescent in the car. Would advise owners to take a look at your current, puny brake light output. Also reconsider illumination speed. Get the LED that fits your desire and wallet.
