I wished you tested Auxito, a 1000 lumens reverse light with extreemely big heatsink. It helps a lot on my Corolla with poor 1 reverse light. I barely can see anything with the OEM bulb.

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed them. I'll do one for orange LEDs as well.

Daca le testezi, te rog sa vezi care nu palpaie rapid pe semnalizare. Am vazut ca pe avarii 99% din ele merg ok dar in rest..

Salut Sergiu, îmi poți recomanda un tip de leduri plug and play(fara eroare)pentru o Astra j..pentru poziții față. Mulțumesc. Soclul ar fi w21/5w

[@jonathanlau1221]

I spent over a couple hundred dollars trying out various LED bulbs for my reversing lights. I failed to find one that was both blindingly bright and lasted more than 3 months. In the end I took a rubber grommet and rigged up a H1 headlight LED bulb that has a built-in heatsink with cooling fan. This has worked exceedingly well for the past 20 months and it is still working.

[@Johnnygga]

Did you also try bulb type R from this video? I have those on my BMW for reverse lights and while I do love the brightness and look of them…. There’s a part of me in the back of my mind that’s scared of it catching fire or something like that. Even if it’s on for a few seconds

[@JaimeCarlosCamacho]

How did you do that? Upload a video please, there are a lot of people like you that need that life hack haha

[@Skupik1]

Now time for the best W5W parking light!

I'll test those too 😃

www.aliexpress.com/item/32611913450.html these ones are very good for "front light", still working after 2 years, sincerely insanely bright for this size ! I tested a bunch of t10 leds.. the best ones for now. these ones get hot but still working good ! hope it can help or can be tested here :D

[@filipMmM]

Just type 12smd 3030... Problem solved. I've sold around 500 pcs withot a single failure.

Sergiu this was bloody excellent. Thank you for taking the time to do such a integrated test on these globes. You my friend have saved me from purchasing crappy globes off eBay. Cheers to you.

[@AxelCSL]

I use "R" one on the blinkers, and reverse light. After 2 years no problems.

[@filipMmM]

Me too.. best bulb even if we consider expensive ones! Also it's a good DRL alternative.

This is the first video of yours that I have seen and it was suggested to me by the KZbin algorithm. Your approach to testing is excellent, and the way you present the data is great. Even though I am not in the market for LED bulbs, you have still earned a subscribe from me. I am going to go watch a few more of your vides now. Keep up the good work!

[@skipstevson9713]

Sergiu, thanks so much for all the info and testing. LED bulb buying is a real minefield and you have made it much easier! Great job! Love the humor...

[@Honeymonster1971]

Great vid Segiu. very useful info. I’ve been running bulb R in my Octavia estate for over a year now in the indicators and reversing lights. Like you they don’t give any bulb warning on the dash. I also tried fitting them in my Merc Vito van, in that they DID give a bulb out warning :(

[@Nomadfsoak]

Great test... I use bulbs "H" as reversing lights and their orange version as turn lights for few years now, but will have to look around for bulbs "S" :)

[@K03sport]

Appreciated. This is classic science fair project work. Nicely done as a reverse light, they are only on for 20-30 seconds tops and are an indicator to ppl behind you. Next item is how good did the throw light behind the car through the lens...

Multumesc pentru video.

[@teocan10]

The most perfect examination led i have seen.

[@TurboTonyG]

Excellent video, as always. When testing LEDs, could you please add a test to see if they’re dimmable? Interior lights especially tend to dim slowly and it would be great to know if these bulbs would allow for that effect. Not as relevant with this type of bulb but certainly many other types.

[@50cal974]

Yay new upload!!!

[@vishwajeetsuman8617]

very nice comperision

[@SelfMadeDocumentary]

I use a website call auto bulbs direct. Not sure if it’s just UK delivery but they have been the best LEDs I’ve used. It’s the brand Twenty20, great reliability, warranty & brightness. They do have the best for not causing error lights.

I have been using model R for 3 years on a citroen berlingo. i removed its glass cover by cutting it at that time. no problems so far. still working.

[@2minkun]

great job, i just bought the bulb R from shopee, will try install it to my car rear brake light by tomorrow

[@jayjwin1178]

Bulb R for reversed lamp is the best!!

[@alexrx7163]

It is good to mention that OSRAM Bulb will have better light output just by using it on Reflector lamps due the LEDS are pointing directly to the reflector hence the Performance.

[@peterxyz3541]

Useful, thanks! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@chrishartley1210]

I noticed a test you didn't try - polarity. Although most vehicles use the centre pin for +12V and the case for ground, some cars use the centre pin as ground. Bulbs will work on either polarity if they have an integrated full bridge rectifier, others are polarity sensitive and since you can't change the polarity on your socket you would be stuck with a product which does not work.

[@abhijithsnair6978]

Hi Sergiu. Thank you for this videos. are very useful and entertaining. Greetings from Argentina.

[@SergiuGabor]

Glad to hear it! Lovely country, I hope to visit someday 😃

[@cuvame]

I'm using Bulb R for my park lights. Seems very fine and works well. But it does get hot maybe because the clear plastic or glass of the bulb turned blurry

[@69mutulica]

I bought BAU15YS like the bulb R for the signaling lights, no canbus error but after 6 months some leds started to flicker and go bad and after 10-15 leds fail, the canbus error appeared, probably because of lower power draw. They are stupid bright but not resisting in time.

[@spotcity1]

Another useful and entertaining video. Keep it up! I really enjoy your oil test videos and I want to recommend you to test these ones: 1. Fuchs Titan GT1 Pro C-3 5W30 2. Total Quartz Ineo Long Life 5W30

Many thanks for video, for some time I was looking for LED lights. Due to safety reasons and CAN Bus errors I abandoned this idea. Regarding your content :D , day by day you are improving your skills , I like the new graphics :D. As a small feedback , It will be a nice idea to convert C° to F° for our USA friends :) .

[@SergiuGabor]

Thanks Mihai! Your feedback is useful as always!

[@iceManSwag]

I had tried many of these. Some gave me errors because they are not CANBUS. I use them for the stop lights on Mercedes x166 GL 2013-2015. Bulb "R" was my favorite but I got tired of changing them as they start to slowly die out the LEDs on them go one by one then you get an died out error light on the dashboard. I had about 10 "R" bulbs. They all died! Got sick of changing them. Then I got the bulb "U" (1156 BA15S) from a branded maker on AliExpress not going to advertise them. They are still working over 1 year use as stop lights. I also havev reverse lights from this brand but a totally different fitmen T15 W16W. They are all CANBUS error free! Thanks for the video I was going to buy the OSRAM ones to check how they glow! Now I won't. I did buy D1S OSRAM Xenon for the head lights 6000K & 7000K. I like the 7000K with tinted head lights. Great video!

[@cyrysvonnachtseite4546]

I used super bright LED that we use in signs. My reverse lights are brighter than the street lights. They are a group of three peel and stick and 12-24 volt DC

[@Nathanelec]

Thanks for these reviews! The Osram bulbs are very sensitive to the reflector style. In a Golf 4 they are horrible, but in Skoda Fabia they are incredibly bright
