Customer Reviews
“These fit perfectly on my 2011 Honda Civic, 7443R (Red) for the running tail/brake lights, and 7443 for reverse lights.”
“Excellent design for OEM reflectors, very bright. Brake and turn signal light housings are designed to work with an incandescent bulb which are standard lengths. The reflectors inside the OEM housings reflect the light and project it appropriately. These reflectors can’t do their jobs properly if the source position and direction of light are altered from that form which the housing was designed.”
“The good and the bad. I’ll start with the good. These lights are definitely brighter than the incandescent bulbs they replace. They also run a lot cooler and pull less current. As for installation, I had two issues. The first was not the fault of the bulbs. It was not an easy task to get to the bulb holder in my 2015 Impala. It was even worse putting it all back together. Youtube has some videos on the process and they make it look much easier than it is. The second issue was that the holder is keyed and these new bulbs did not match the key. So it was impossible to push the bulbs all the way in. I can only hope that vibration does not cause them to fall out. Now for the main concern, and this one I don’t know if it is going to be a problem or not. When the lights are “off”, they stay on, but very dim. I can’t see how anything about them would be causing this, so my assumption is, and if anyone can confirm or deny it, please do, the car is sending a low voltage signal to the bulbs to let the car’s computer know if a bulb is out. On the original bulb this would not be enough to show up. But on the LED bulbs it is. It is hardly noticeable during the day, but at night it is quite evident. My concern is that this could possibly drain the battery if the car sits for a long time. It may be such a small current that my concern is unfounded. I would appreciate any feedback on this. I can’t say if I would recommend these, as your particular situation might be better or worse. If they last a long time without falling out and without draining the battery, then I will be completely pleased with my purchase.”
