I wished you tested Auxito, a 1000 lumens reverse light with extreemely big heatsink. It helps a lot on my Corolla with poor 1 reverse light. I barely can see anything with the OEM bulb.
The shear amount of effort required for this is nuts. Thank you for going through all of this testing for us. You're killing it! Keep it up, Sergio. -Luis
I spent over a couple hundred dollars trying out various LED bulbs for my reversing lights. I failed to find one that was both blindingly bright and lasted more than 3 months. In the end I took a rubber grommet and rigged up a H1 headlight LED bulb that has a built-in heatsink with cooling fan. This has worked exceedingly well for the past 20 months and it is still working.
Did you also try bulb type R from this video? I have those on my BMW for reverse lights and while I do love the brightness and look of them…. There’s a part of me in the back of my mind that’s scared of it catching fire or something like that. Even if it’s on for a few seconds
Sergiu this was bloody excellent. Thank you for taking the time to do such a integrated test on these globes. You my friend have saved me from purchasing crappy globes off eBay. Cheers to you.
This is the first video of yours that I have seen and it was suggested to me by the TH-cam algorithm. Your approach to testing is excellent, and the way you present the data is great. Even though I am not in the market for LED bulbs, you have still earned a subscribe from me. I am going to go watch a few more of your vides now. Keep up the good work!
www.aliexpress.com/item/32611913450.html these ones are very good for "front light", still working after 2 years, sincerely insanely bright for this size ! I tested a bunch of t10 leds.. the best ones for now. these ones get hot but still working good ! hope it can help or can be tested here :D
Thank you so much for the in depth tutorial of what each bulb does and why , i am switching to LED for my car and you made it perfectly clear what my product should be. Great effort went into the making this video !
Sergiu, thanks so much for all the info and testing. LED bulb buying is a real minefield and you have made it much easier! Great job! Love the humor...
Kudos for the 3D printed sockets! Did similar for a project of mine on an old Chevy! Congrats on the channel, as an engineer myself I find it awesome your testing methodology.
Awesome video and great testing as always! Bulb R is really impressive considering the price. Just definitely would not use it for an always on application.
First time a channel on TH-cam made me watch a sponsor segment. because you just included some testing footage with it. i actually wanted to congratulate you of thinking this.
Super videoclip, striga CALITATE! Mi s-au parut cam ciudate verdictele cu "go home you're drunk", ''shut up and take my money". Dar restul a fost super.
I use a website call auto bulbs direct. Not sure if it’s just UK delivery but they have been the best LEDs I’ve used. It’s the brand Twenty20, great reliability, warranty & brightness. They do have the best for not causing error lights.
Great vid Segiu. very useful info. I’ve been running bulb R in my Octavia estate for over a year now in the indicators and reversing lights. Like you they don’t give any bulb warning on the dash. I also tried fitting them in my Merc Vito van, in that they DID give a bulb out warning :(
I used super bright LED that we use in signs. My reverse lights are brighter than the street lights. They are a group of three peel and stick and 12-24 volt DC
Great test... I use bulbs "H" as reversing lights and their orange version as turn lights for few years now, but will have to look around for bulbs "S" :)
Hmm. Mai era un model cu conuri pe lateral. Am primit eu unul si e impresionant. Oricum, cel mai tare canal din ro. Iti admir foarte tare contentul de calitate. Te-am recomandat la toti cunoscutii! :)
I bought BAU15YS like the bulb R for the signaling lights, no canbus error but after 6 months some leds started to flicker and go bad and after 10-15 leds fail, the canbus error appeared, probably because of lower power draw. They are stupid bright but not resisting in time.
I have amber bulbs following the design of Bulb R They have a decoder of some sort which prevents the hyperflash. Very bright. As you said design doesn't allow for much heat dissipation but for turn signals I think it's perfect. Have used it for almost a year and so far no problems Maybe you should do a brake bulb standoff. The ones that have dual brightness. I notice a lot of these cheap bulbs, you can't properly differentiate between Running light and brake light. Sometimes the running light is brighter than incandescent but the brake isnt. Therefore reducing the difference between them.
With those cheap dual brightness bulbs, I always install a resistance for the low intensity to make something like 30/100 instead of 80/100 most of time
I had tried many of these. Some gave me errors because they are not CANBUS. I use them for the stop lights on Mercedes x166 GL 2013-2015. Bulb "R" was my favorite but I got tired of changing them as they start to slowly die out the LEDs on them go one by one then you get an died out error light on the dashboard. I had about 10 "R" bulbs. They all died! Got sick of changing them. Then I got the bulb "U" (1156 BA15S) from a branded maker on AliExpress not going to advertise them. They are still working over 1 year use as stop lights. I also havev reverse lights from this brand but a totally different fitmen T15 W16W. They are all CANBUS error free! Thanks for the video I was going to buy the OSRAM ones to check how they glow! Now I won't. I did buy D1S OSRAM Xenon for the head lights 6000K & 7000K. I like the 7000K with tinted head lights. Great video!
I started with cheap LEDs and they always go out after a few months, now I only use a quality bulb. I have never had a problem with Sylvania also known as osram and in the US their zevo line Zevos have a limited lifetime warranty
I'm using Bulb R for my park lights. Seems very fine and works well. But it does get hot maybe because the clear plastic or glass of the bulb turned blurry
Appreciated. This is classic science fair project work. Nicely done as a reverse light, they are only on for 20-30 seconds tops and are an indicator to ppl behind you. Next item is how good did the throw light behind the car through the lens...
I noticed a test you didn't try - polarity. Although most vehicles use the centre pin for +12V and the case for ground, some cars use the centre pin as ground. Bulbs will work on either polarity if they have an integrated full bridge rectifier, others are polarity sensitive and since you can't change the polarity on your socket you would be stuck with a product which does not work.
Thanks for these reviews! The Osram bulbs are very sensitive to the reflector style. In a Golf 4 they are horrible, but in Skoda Fabia they are incredibly bright
My Mitsubishi has pretty small reverse lights, so I wanted something that could focus all the light outwards instead of relying on the tiny reflector. So I went with a lens-style bulb with two Cree emitters, and they work well! It also has heat fins around the whole bulb so I was kind of dissapointed to not see it in this test. I think it could do well.
Excellent video, as always. When testing LEDs, could you please add a test to see if they’re dimmable? Interior lights especially tend to dim slowly and it would be great to know if these bulbs would allow for that effect. Not as relevant with this type of bulb but certainly many other types.
Another useful and entertaining video. Keep it up! I really enjoy your oil test videos and I want to recommend you to test these ones: 1. Fuchs Titan GT1 Pro C-3 5W30 2. Total Quartz Ineo Long Life 5W30
@@batkatabatev6683 depends on the car maybe, or you just got unlucky. Actually I remember now that I had one defective, but other two ordered from a different seller and they are doing fine. Survived this summer with 30+ C temperatures. And I only use them as reverse lights, so not for long periods
I tried bulb R in my Audi a4 b7 as the daytime running light. It lit up for a few secs and never again. Afterwards, i have been using bulb T for half a year, it does well but shows an error.
Many thanks for video, for some time I was looking for LED lights. Due to safety reasons and CAN Bus errors I abandoned this idea.

Love these bulb reviews man! Great job again!
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed them. I'll do one for orange LEDs as well.
@@SergiuGabor hell yeah!
@@SergiuGabor If you test the orange ones, can you also test the one with the fan on top. I'm planning on buying them after these R bulbs failed.
Daca le testezi, te rog sa vezi care nu palpaie rapid pe semnalizare. Am vazut ca pe avarii 99% din ele merg ok dar in rest..
Salut Sergiu, îmi poți recomanda un tip de leduri plug and play(fara eroare)pentru o Astra j..pentru poziții față. Mulțumesc. Soclul ar fi w21/5w
I use "R" one on the blinkers, and reverse light. After 2 years no problems.
Me too.. best bulb even if we consider expensive ones! Also it's a good DRL alternative.
@@filipMmM i bought them for reversing lights, after i saw how they work and that they do not trigger canbus error, i ordered 4 more for my blinkers

Awesome video and great testing as always! Bulb R is really impressive considering the price. Just definitely would not use it for an always on application.
Great video but when reversing the temperature won't get to that heat as no one will be driving constantly in reverse
Couple months ago I recommended Auxito bulbs and you tested it, thank you for that

Primul clip pe care il vad la tine pe canal si deja am dat Subscribe cu clopotel. Esti un fel de Project Farm de Romania si apreciez asta foarte mult!
I have been using model R for 3 years on a citroen berlingo. i removed its glass cover by cutting it at that time. no problems so far. still working.
Super videoclip, striga CALITATE!

@@CelestinHonda33 that's something to note. Can try that out next time. Do the resistors get hot at all? Since it'll be running all the time at night.
@@Harzman01 I using them since long time like night travel on highway (use for backlight) it's something like 300k ohm if I remember well...
The most perfect examination led i have seen.
Excellent presentation, well done !

Its been years since I switched to sylvania led license plate lights and they have never failed even when I use them always during daytime
@@Gave-rf1hr yup still going strong since I made my post too.

What is the name of the brand u use ??
I'm using Bulb R for my park lights. Seems very fine and works well. But it does get hot maybe because the clear plastic or glass of the bulb turned blurry
Can't wait!
I hope that bulb R from reversing lights video makes a comeback!
Good work. But It would have being interesting to see how much current they draw.
Thanks for the effort and all the testings
