I am getting LED replacements for most of the lights in the car and I wa reading a older post that some of the sizes on sylvania are incorrect so what are the correct sizes for the following:

Brake -- 7443
Parking lights - 7443
Front turn signals - 7443
Rear Turn signals - 1156
Reverse - 7440
Turn sidemarkers - 168


Thanks alot

 

also how is brightness with LEDs compared to the stock bulbs. I used search and most said they are hard to see in the day time unless you are looking right at them. What they all did not mention is if they were using the newer refractor LEDs that have the same ammount of LEDs pointing out but now have LEDs firing sideways to reflect off the stock casing. How do these compare?

Thanks

During the day...they are invisible (90%). At night, they are bright.

Also...

DO NOT!!!!!!! Change the brake lights to LEDs. Its VERY unsafe, as they will be invisible during the day.

Also, dont change the turn signals, because your lights will hyperblink (unless you get resistors.)

 

If you replace the brake lights with LEDs you will have to put diodes in the wires to stop feedback. The LEDs use a resistor for the taillights to dim the lights and no resistor for brake lights. Both the brake light and tail light wires are joined inside the LED bulb. This causes a back feed problem in the S2000. When you hit the brakes in the daytime (no headlights on) ALL of the lights on you dash will hyper flash. Also when you turn on the headlights the third brake light on the trunk will light up about half bright. I know this because I did the conversion myself. If you want LED tail lights check the link below, you may find it interesting.
