guys a question i was looking for replacement bulbs and i came across LED bulbs which i will use for my park light. considering its price (PHP 750), do they emit a more brighter light than normal auto bulbs? thanks

///M-Power

LED lights are better than ordinary bulbs because they light up faster, use less power, last longer and are brighter in intensity for the same bulb size. This is why most new Euro cars use LEDs for brake lights because the person at the rear will see the car stop lights go off a few milliseconds faster in order to be able to brake earlier.

Though cheap LEDs like those that are used in locally made spoilers have terrible quality and hopefully you don't buy those kinds of substandard LEDs. It looks awful when some of the LEDs in a cluster burn out.

There are LED type bulbs that fit in peanut bulb sockets. The best is the PIAA one because it has multiple LED bulbs on it. Kung yun mga Taiwan lang, 1 bulb lang. If you want to try yun Taiwan, meron ako dito, bigay ko nalang sayo.
