[@stevep756]

It is ironic when I see people take these cars and put tail lights on that you can hardly see at all. Also the stupidest rims and wheels money can buy. My 11 and 07 CVPI's are all original here in Kentucky. I don't know how to take quality pictures Chuck. The last time I entered a give away you said they were too low of quality. I take pictures with a Panasonic SDR-H80 camcorder and then upload them to my computer. This is Steve, the freight hauler in Kentucky. Maybe you remember. I really enjoy the videos. I still run non ethanol 87 and doing 55 I average 24MPG with the 3:55 rear ends. Thanx!

[@PanzerPlatform]

Yo Steve, Any $20 pre-paid cell phone from the last decade can take "high quality" photos. lol And please refrain from disparaging comments how other folks modify their cars. That's not my choice either, but everyone has their own taste. -Chuck

Also Chuck, We need the Brightest dang lights to get peoples attention in traffic! I've had several close calls due to inatention of drivers and almost got rearended a few weeks back, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, I was stopped at a traffic light and was watching the car coming up behind me quickly... I was forced to pull to the right as the car hit the pickup in front of me! But I saved my 2010 P71 from being totaled! The pickup had a heavy duty tow hitch and that saved his truck, the car ended up with it's frontend 2 feet crushed back! The person driving admitted to texting at the time of the wreck! Lesson, always keep distance between you and the car in front of you, that gives you space to get out of the way :) One old rule I follow is at a traffic light you shoud be no closer than being able to see the car's rear tires on the ground in front of you.

[@stephenleone2375]

I don't know how you could say that these videos are terrible, as I watch a LOT of KZbin videos, and these are some of the best content out there. Your videos are to the point, everything clearly in frame of the camera, we can easily discern what you're saying, they're highly informative on a much needed topic for a particular group of individuals that contain no fluff or pointless babbling, and I absolutely love the printouts and most of all the wooden pointer, so that we can see what you're focused on (which I don't know why other video providers don't do this). Last but not least, your content isn't about unproven theories, it's from real life experiences backed up by data or testing. Does it get any better than that?

If these were used in combination with regular turn signal bulbs would the brightness of the formula J87 bulbs overpower the signaling bulb? Because older Vics like mine have dedicated amber signals.

Yo Josh, Congrats you won a free cat. J/k I temporarily forgot the 1998-2002 use three bulbs in the tail light. Two for Parking / Brake. And a separate one for the Amber turn signal.

[@toyotabrony]

@PanzerPlatform My question is, are Formula J87 a good reputable brand? That 3 year warranty is a very strong one. Usually common is 1-2 year warranty. But 3 year warranty is better. Now that’s nothing to compare to sylvania zevo led with a lifetime warranty. U can never beat that. Back to formula J87, I want because that G8 led bulb 9005 with a internal driver and a built-in fan looks very good. And I would love to get a 2000k orange Amber for my high beams. For super bright yet softer bright led bulbs. It’s a gorgeous color. And 2: have u had any issues with Formula J87 led products? Because I’m stuck with two best options for my 2015 Scion xB 9005/HB3 high beam bulbs. Lasfit - LD plus switchback 6000k/3000k Or Formula J87 with 2000k? Or even 3: SNGL with 3000k? It has a large heatsink with no fans. So that’s a passive type led bulbs. I already have switchback h11 ones and I love it. What do u prefer for ur honest opinion? And u may also ask why those color? Because I love the look of it and they are super bright and more useful. I’m running an 8 watt 9005 SNGL 3000k led bulbs. And they are decently bright. I used that for show. But it did help just a little for dark areas. But obviously it’s not enough.

[@NGGPeter]

I have ZEVO LED brake lights but kept the 3rd brake light incandescent for me. Too many problems with LEDs. If you switch to LED then your cruise control and aftermarket remote start will stop working. Something with the cruise control module monitors the third brake light’s resistance, such that adding an LED tricks it into thinking the brake lights are on, thus no cruise control or remote start. Haven’t bothered adding a resistor but theoretically that should fix it. There is actually a TSB from Ford that covers a range of models that say aftermarket LED third brake light bulbs will cause this.

[@PanzerPlatform]

Yo Peter, Long time no see. LED bulbs in the 3rd brake light would disable the cruise control on some 1992-2002 Panther Cars. I just went looking for the TSB, and I can't find it. Darn it. Thanks for stopping in, and the good feedback. -Chuck
