Hi Bill and List folk;
I can honestly say that the LED bulbs are plenty bright. I got a good deal
on a rear lamp assembly and checked it out. On 12vdc
they are as bright as a normal tail light bulb. The LEDs they are
producing now are not like the old ones folks are used to. Down here in
Florida they are switching over to LED bulbs in traffic signals. They are
so bright that you can plainly see them when they are backlit by the
sun. At night they are so bright that they hurt your eyes to look at them.
best regards,
Jim (KB4IVH)
