Hyper Red Bulbs for Trunk Brake Lights
#16
I'm still waiting for their response guys
I'll keep you posted. I am also going to try testing some voltage on the socket and see if I can figure out where the pins on the bottom of the bulb need to be lined up. After looking at the bulbs there is one common wire that is shared by both filaments and the other two go through two different size resistors... probably one for low wattage and the other for high wattage. If I can test the voltage to the bulbs and it is something like 12 or 14 volts I can wire up the battery on my DeWalt Cordless drill and see If I can get it to work. Then it would just be a matter of lining up the contacts on the bottom of the bulb... Once again this seems like an awful lot of work. I hope dpstore has a better answer for me tommorrow. Anyone know how to get a hold of APC maybe they could be of more help.
Later guys I hope I have some good news tommorrow...

vistal, i dunno if this will help but..the two inner metal pieces on the bulb (they are on opposite sides) are low voltage...the two outermost ones are high voltage. the order should match up with those on the socket. im just thinking its not lined up good enough...i didnt test the bulb for the wattages, cuz it should be a universal thing..unless apc really screwed up...cant wait to get my second set of leds so i could play around with this also..too lazy to open up my blinkers and use those. one and a half more days -=z
btw..how was the fit.. did it slide in easily? or did u have problems putting it in? the ones for my blinker would only go in half way..but i think the sockets for the break lights are a lil bigger and it should be better..
talk to u tomorrow.
