    Hi everyone, in this episode we'll be testing 23 white light LEDs to see which is the best. We'll be comparing these products with the classic incandescent bulb to see if the LEDs are better. It's a long video so if you would like to skip to the conclusions, feel free to use the timestamps below.

    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

    Super utile clipurile tale! Tineo tot așa! Apropo poți face pe viitor un video cu privire la uleiul 2t? sunt interesat sa tunez mai serios un scuter și nu știu ce ulei sa folosesc, sunt complet pierdut adică știu că, un ulei sintetic e mai bun dar toate specificațiile uleiurilor sunt complicate. Cum ar fi: daca punctul de aprindere este mic asta înseamnă că uleiul arde devreme și nu mai lubrifiază? sau daca punctul e mare nu poate să-l ardă suficient de bine și face calamina? dar cenușa rezultata in urma arderii? dar vascozitatea cinematica cat ar fi ideala și pentru ce tip de motor fiindcă sunt producători care recomanda mai multe tipuri de ulei pt același motor, dar vascozitatea lor cinematica diferă dramatic unul având 9,8 și altul chiar 22. Poate te-am amețit și pe tine, scuze. Totuși ar fi super dacă ai putea să mă scoți la lumina. Bafta in continuare!

    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 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

    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.
