For sure, easy to tell by looking at them. I don't see any dimensions on the bulbs, but appear longer than the OEM bulbs and with the focused lens on the end I'd bet they have a heck of a hot spot when looking at the taillight itself. Hard to believe they're charging $40 for old technology. Even worse is $20 for a pair of LED license plate lights, that's Morimoto 194 LED prices not generic.

This is what I run, out of the 3 types of LED bulbs I tried, this one didn't have a very noticeable hot spot. Morimoto was another brand but while it was brighter it had more of a hot spot than these.

Did you get just the bulbs or did you need the resistors as well?

Previous owner already put some Diode Dynamics LEDs in and I believe he had a single resister on just one side. So I just swapped the bulbs. Those were significantly brighter than Diode Dynamics "700 lumen" bulbs.

huh?^^ We live in California! You should be driving it more than most of these guys on here but I digress....subbed cause i'm looking to do this on mine as well.

Amazon often has no clue. The connector/socket is what matters, and sometimes bulb dimensions, too, but not that much in this case.

Thanks for everyone’s helps. I got the smoked taillights installed with the diode dynamics LEDs. I had also bought the Amazon ones and did a side by side. I liked the Diode ones better.
