Reply to "Rear lights--LEDs anyone?"

rapierMember

I replaced my Rapier stop/tail bulbs with LED units. These replaced standard Lucas dual filament (21 and 5 watt) bulbs.
I think these are the same as the Pantera bulbs (I've not replaced a bulb yet).

These had about 13 LEDs. The ones in the centre for the tail light and the outer ones joined in when the brakes were on.
These cost about $15 each bulb (about 5 years ago).

I did this because all the 'silver' had disappeared from the internal reflectors. The LED lamps don't use (or need them) as they aim all their light to the rear.

I was very pleased with them, they were bright and trouble free.

I think the LEDs were clear, not coloured (it's been a while since I've seen them!)

I've attached a picture of what I replaced - are these the same as Pantera bulbs?
