Led Lights

It is grossly inferior to the earliest Philips Ultinon ones, which worked really well in a fair number of lamps, including a lot of the ones with fresnel optics. Philips discontinued those, and replaced them with a different design a little like the Sylvania Zevo Y-frame items. These worked less well, and in fewer lamps. Then they discontinued those and brought out three different new designs, including the ones you've linked, which…work less well, and in fewer lamps.

Ah, lol. I didn't realize they had redesigned them so many times. Most of the pictures I saw online were this cluster style that didn't seem to have any effort to replicate a filament style light source and looked like the typical "LED replacement" bulbs you see everywhere


I saw these as well, which I assume are the Y style you referred to?


And just for my own curiosity, these were the original style, correct?


So are the Sylvania Zevo's still the only thing remotely worthwhile in the LED market for our taillights? Seems like the latest(?) Philips Ultinon might still make for a decent reverse light, but not so much taillights from the sound of it.
