Philips 3157ALED Ultinon LED (Amber), 2 Pack

These are dual filament bulbs. The light is very sharp, clear, and projects decently far. You can use them both in brake lights and turn signals alike (both dual and single filament applications). Make sure you match the lens color with the LED color. I think many reviews complaining about 'not as bright as OEM bulbs' purchased a white LED and put it behind a colored lens. The white LED is so intense that if you put it behind a red color lens, most of the light will be reflected back in to the housing, causing a washed out color. The same is with amber colored lenses. You need an amber LED for an AMBER lens. If you use these as a blinker, you likely will need to get a compatible relay or similar to get rid of hyperflash. The bulbs are polarity sensitive, so if it doesn't work at first, unplug and flip the bulb around.

These 3157R LEDs worked very well in our 2013 edge for brake lights. The red color actually eliminated a slight orange tint the factory bulbs caused in the reflector. It's very red now. I did not rate it 5 stars though because I had to question if they were bright enough, as they certainly werent any brighter. This has more to do with bulb design than sheer led chip intensity. In the end they were at least as bright, more red, and instant on.

these lights work great and are brighter than stock. i got them to better be seen on the roads for safety. my only gripe is that it does cause a light bulb out message to go on your dash. i just click okay and it goes away.. they are not canbus ready. they also stay on for either a few minutes or hours after i turn off car. they stay on at a very low light. they must be very efficient because it has never drained my battery. they do eventually turn off.

Amazon said this would work for the front turn signal/parking light on my 2004 Sienna. When I installed them, the turn signal would work but not the parking light. I turned the bulb 180 degrees per the instructions and the parking light worked, but the turn signal did not. I contacted Phillips, who said that my van had separate bulbs for turn signals and parking lights. It does not. I returned the bulbs. I also noticed they were much dimmer than the incandescents.

The description says they are direct replacements for incandescent. The fine print then says you might need the resistors to add load. You do indeed need the resistors. The Philips resistors are less expensive than the Sylvania ones, but the Philips bulbs do not produce as much brightness.Here is a comparison of upgrading to these LED's vs staying with factory.Cost over 20 years...LED = $32 one time purchase of bulbs and resistors.OEM = $16 for four sets of bulbs over a 20 year period. This assumes factory and replacements last only 4 years. They normally last longer, but my OEM burned out after 4 years on this car.Labor over 20 yearsLED = One time install of resistors and bulbs. Took about 20 minutes.OEM = Four replacement installs. About 10 minutes each. That's 20 minutes saved over 20 years.Which is more valuable to you? 20 minutes or $16? LOLBulb brightness is almost exactly the same on the new LED bulbs as it was on the OEM bulbs. I am concerned that a bad LED will not trigger the bulb replacement warning since the resistors are creating artificial load.Bottom line....Leave them factory if you have a bulb warning system.

These dropped right in to the factory bulb holders on my 2016 Ford Focus RS. Note that the bases appear symmetric but they are not! Perfect OEM replacement, nice and bright, and good color output for brakelights. These are hopefully the last brakelights that ever get put in this vehicle.

Installed on a 2004 Jeep Liberty for rear taillights. Installation is super easy: remove the 2 Torx bolts attaching the taillight assembly to the body, twist out each of the 3 bulb housings, swap the old for new bulbs, and put back together.Did 1 side and compared to the other that had traditional bulbs still. Maybe these last longer (time will tell) but in terms of brightness I can’t say this LED is any brighter and thus, worth the money...

They work, they have a built in small light that shows when the polarity is right, and over the course of a few months have not blown out. Can't ask for more, well, except for them lasting the life of the vehicle that is. I will give a follow up in a few years if I remember.
