what do you think of these >> 13w LED
or these 60 SMD LED
or this 68 SMD LED
or wow, 102 SMD LED
there seem to be all sorts of variations and styles, but whats the difference between the 13watt LED vs. the SMD LED vs the normal LED. ??

I remember someone installing something like these and having electrical problems, fuses blowing out or signals not working. Just a precaution.
Cool sig by the way!!

this cruise control issue is NOT completely factual on the RD tiburon. i have installed currently, FRONT LED marker lights, REAR red LED blinkers, REAR white LED reverse lights and i do have cruise, working just fine.
all of the LED bulbs are this style: 24 LED but the brake LED died just last month.... it lasted for 5 years !!!!! so im looking to upgrade.
I did not like the front firing LED only, i realized that it needs some side firing LED to reflect off the interior of the relfector in the tail lamp to increase brightness... but even this basic 24 LED setup was nice and bright !!! just as good as stock as i can remember doing a side by side comparison when i got them.
i do however suffer from hyper blinking, due to the decrease (null) resistance of an LED. but i never fixed it, cuz i kinda like flashing quicker, makes for better lane changing technique at highway speeds, or illegal highway speeds in my case ! lol.
thanks HKC, i just made it last night.
