We should look into that. I'm going to see what I can find pal.

I tried those also. the highest powered "Ultra-Bright" 25 LED replacement bulbs were no match for the stock incandescent bulbs. Also, with the fluting in the B/U lens, the only way you could tell they were LED's was by the "dim" light!

I think some aftermarket "vintage" housings and lenses will be the ticket!

I would like to see a ring of red LED's in the top AND bottom lenses, and leave the stock bulbs in place. That would be a neat look.

Very helpful test. I was looking into putting in some LED tail lights and/or Sylvania SilverStar headlights in my HHR (I had the SilverStars in my ION - they didn't seem to help that much either). Now I know I can spend $40 or more for better things than light bulbs that don't help anything.

Yeah, those H13 bulbs are pretty scarce right about now.

Hopefully - soon!
