LED Flasher comparison

I went through this exercise here:

LED front and rear turn signals

Follow up. I was further perusing the Superbrite.com website and noticed in the 1156 and 1157 bulb configurations that other options are available, 28 series rather than 27 in particular. They are longer and thinner than the 27 series(which is close to original incandescent size), but lumens (light output) increases from 330 to 550 and 320 to 580 respectively on the 1157 and 1156 (lumens/100=watts according to the website), big increase. 1157 is park/brake rear, 1156 is signal front/rear. So…

replaced all exterior bulbs w/Superbrite LEDs and used their silent red flasher for the Hazard

and a clicking flasher for the signals.

Back to regularly scheduled programming. Got the CEC clicking flasher today. Works as advertised. All signals flash at a nice rate, dashboard indicators fully operate and it clicks! Plug and play, except it needs grounding with the supplied, integrated wire. I chose to ground it on the speedometer mounting post. Recalled and found a knurled “I won’t throw this out, maybe I can use it someday” nut in a drawer that justifies saving any other “maybe someday” item. Used it to secure the groun…

The difference in brightness is night and day, literally. Like Paul, I put amber color LED in my front signals which you only can tell when flashing
