Best LED rear brake light?

[holty]

ive got one on an ac and one with dc they work fine on both, ac is not quite as bright as dc only on a slow tickover, and it doesnt dim the headlight at all, and thats 55 watt

Had a couple of the BGM ones and they are pretty good .....for the 6 months they work....

Had one since they came out still bright.

Just look up 1157 LED lamp

Lots of off the shelf options and can be picked up at your local auto parts store.

Just for a bit of balance,I have used an LED bulb in the rear of my series 3 for over a year and it is not dim but quite bright,the best part about it is that when I use the back brake the lights dont almost go off,but stay bright.

Is yours the full DC system with battery? Mine is AC no battery and I'm using a 55watt halagen front bulb which is very bright, but as you say when you brake even with the led back bulb the front light almost dies.

I read somewhere those led back light units must be used only with DC current ?

Mine is an A/C 12v system with a white Zenon headlight.Just to confirm,when I brake with the LED rear,the headlight doesn't dim but stays bright.

Mine is an A/C 12v system with a white Zenon headlight.Just to confirm,the rear light IS a replacement bulb and I've just removed my normal bulb and replaced it with the LED one,when I brake with the LED rear,the headlight doesn't dim but stays bright.

2 I am using just now are both off e-bay.

One has a white plastic backboard and a large number of rear & brake lights in strips fixed on with tie wraps. Very good , loads of light and brake , was made by a scooterist , - £20 I think.

Other is a £5 universal led rear light , took the light unit out of the casing/lens and easily fettled to line up with lammy rear light screws, also very good.

The BGM ones I had both packed in on the braking lights part of the light although the rear light still worked.

I had an Atomic one on my Ac GP which worked great for about a month then went really dim so went back to a good old reliable bulb
