Default Which of these LED will be more powerful?

Hi there.

I purchased one of these for my is250 mirrors
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2x-Lexus-...-/180924875788

They're nice, but in the daylight very weak compared to halogen.

Can you guys tell me if either of these 2 will be better / which of the 3 is best?

Neither of those.

Think about how the bulb is oriented in the reflector.. it goes sideways. Those bulbs that you listed are front facing oriented. What you need in our cars is a flat, flank style bulb or a 360 degree bulb.


Looks like you want blue..

The higher the lumen the brighter the bulb.However neither of them state the lumen they or projecting.So couldnt tell which would be brighter.Also higher the bulb temp the less light they produce.But if I was to pick one out of the three it would be the third.

this isn't usually the route people go when they are purchasing LEDs but this is where i get all of mine

I can select exactly what I want, size brightness color lens everything. It will take some wiring and soldering knowledge and some creativity and fab but if you want to put some extra time in to make it special, I would say this is a good route.

You can find everything in there from barely visible...to melting a hole through your headlight and warping body panels not to mention permanently blinding people
