Oh no, Amazon! They scare me, they always send cheap Chinese stuff and they force you to use credit cards to pay. They probably have some sort of spy technology embedded in the products. Maybe even contaminated with H2N1!!!!

I bought mine from Amazon.ca. The extra money must be for the new head quarters they’re not building here in Hamilton, Ontario.

The manufacturer is claimed to be KaTur. They list the socket type as model number: T25 3157 3156

Those didn’t last long, I noticed last night when I picked up the Dodge, I was following Sweetie home and spotted the two centre high brake light LED bulbs weren’t lighting up.
When we got home, I moved those bulbs around, nope their not working, so, I put the stock 921 bulbs back in.
We’ll live and learn , some mods are a waste of money.

Yeah, I ended up not buying them because I didnt trust them. Still have good old regular bulbs in mine. I did have to replace a couple bulbs a year or so ago, but two being out didnt effect my 2006's cruise control. I have IPCW tails out back, anyway.

thinking about switching out my markers and high mount for LEDs (starting small)... searched the forum and found this and now I'm wondering if it's worth it...
has anybody had issues with LEDs like these? was hoping for a plug-and-play replacement... also don't want them burning out right away like OldBlue mentioned

A year has past by almost and the new LED 921 high brake light bulbs are flashing in a weird way, it got noticed by a really nice officer, he followed me home and watched me change back to OEM 921 filament bulbs .
I’m going to leave it that way.

Flashing in a weird way? Like, picking up power when they shouldn't be?
