Since I've been having good luck with auxito brand leds, and I've been having issues with others dropping a few chips in the taillights causing bulb out errors to pop up, decided to try the 3157 red led and the 921 back up bulb. Start with the 3157.
I've had probably 2 or 3 different led bulbs in the taillights since I bought the truck in Nov of 2020. They'd all drop a few led chips after a few months (no water intrusion or anything). Picked these ones up a few months ago and they've been flawless since. No errors, no burned out leds, etc. Nice and bright, with a noticeable difference in brightness when flashing. Which, is important when stopping and changing lanes. It's hard to show how effective they are through pictures, so I found video would work best.
Disclaimer, my truck is programmed via alfaobd to eliminate errors and hyperflash when using led bulbs, but it's still sensitive enough that it will notify me if there's a bulb dropping led chips.
Next, the 921 bulb. This is their high power back up led bulb.
This thing is bright. I had your standard 921 led bulbs in there before and it made a huge difference, but these things are borderline insane when backing up at night. The amount of light that comes out of these bulbs could probably land a plane. These do not install like a standard 921 bulb. Since these are so powerful, a heatsink is needed to keep everything cool and not melt the housing. So, these utilize a rubber/silicone base that pops into where the bulb socket would twist into. It comes with 4 o-rings to add tension so the base stays locked in and doesn't twist while driving. The nice thing about this, is that you can also clock the bulb in the housing to get the best beam pattern, similar to that of a headlight. Again, been running these since I installed the taillight bulbs and zero issues. No water intrusion, and it's been extremely wet and rainy here the past several weeks. These bulbs are still going strong. Honestly, I've been impressed with all the stuff from auxito, and if you're on a budget for stuff that actually performs, I don't think you can go wrong. Here's a few pics of their output through the reverse/backup camera. If I can get the wife to stand behind the truck and take some pictures, I'll post them up as well. But you can see how well these bulbs illuminate the area behind the Truck.
People are probably sick of these posts, but I like highlighting products that work, and well, this stuff just plain works without killing your bank account.
