Hello MG folks, I was driving behind my wife as she drove the MG the other day and the brake light visibility really struck me. For safety's sake, I wouldn't mind something that stands out more. Has
A friend here in nebraska is running them and has been pleased. I believe he had to replace the turn signal flasher as well. Bob Shaw shaws@mlcltd.com My MGA is not leaking, it is merely marking its
A poster on the Triumph forum had mounted one on his luggage rack. The design of the light was a long,narrow LED that would not stick out. He ran the wires through the existing mounting holes for th
I replaced mine with LED equivalents and they are brighter, another advantage to LEDs is they come on to full brightness quicker, so allowing for a little more reaction time for the one behind you. L
The halogen bulbs sold by LBC work well. Polishing the reflectors helps too. Another way to achieve more illumination is to install a second socket in the blank part of the chromed casting. The cast
There seems to be a wide choice of 1157 bulbs and I wonder which are the most suitable. I thought the Matrix II 32 LEDs? What did you get? Regards Barrie Barrie Robinson 1970 MGB GT V8 1955 Aston Ma
Yes, those were the ones I got. As a side note, I ordered the white bulbs, I had tried a different set from Auto-Zone but they only had red, with those some of the brightness seemed to be lost. The r
I don't have any idea what the problem could be since the LEDS should even draw less current than the regular 1157's anyway. You would think a current problem would be noticed in the original bulb as
I think I read that if you use white LEDs in an application that has a red lens (like an MGB tail light) then the red lens will cancel out all but the red wavelengths coming from the LED (which won'
Well I noticed the whites being brighter but like I said the Autozone LEDs I tried were the RED ones, and they were not as robust as the white ones from autolumination. So the difference in number of
Don't you mean we should use RED LEDs? Now all we need is for someone to manufacture a crystal-clear taillight lens for MGBs... -- Max Heim '66 MGB GHN3L76149 If you're near Mountain View, CA, it's t
LED's are not good at producing a full spectrum of light. What looks like a white LED is really not white in the same sense that sunlight or incandescent light might be. If you shine an LED flashligh
Don't you mean we should use RED LEDs? Now all we need is for someone to manufacture a crystal-clear taillight lens for MGBs... I'm confused, although some would say that's not hard to do. When I wea
Red lenses filter out everything *except* red. However, our perception of colours is very complex. There are compensating mechanisms that allow us to see even when the light is not white without noti
Hmmm... A red filter should exclude all colors but red. If you put on red sunglasses, you should see only the red component of the light. If you're putting on red glasses and seeing green, that's a m
I was being facetious about the clear lens (don't really want to look like a Japanese tuner car). But yes, a red lens blocks transmission of all the wavelengths except red. So the white LED, which is
