66 Corvair LED Tail Light Test Demo #3

A short clip showing a direct comparison between the OEM light bulb (left) and a new LED bulb (right) that I am prototyping for my late model Corvairs. The light in the photo is from a 1966-1969 but it will also work in the 1965. This clip shows both marker and turn signal function.

These are definitely brighter than the stock bulbs. Are you selling these anywhere? They seem like a good option to be a little more visible in my '65

@Pacerace100 Not at this time. Maybe next fall.

hey i like what you did with your car. what color led bulb did you use? red or white?

[slickraft]

Neither technically. Pure red LEDs are not bright enough compared to the much preferred hyper-orange color (It is also called red/orange by some manufacturers like Cree and Lumileds). Using white is not a good idea since it wasteful to create all that white light and then filter all but a small range of wavelengths back out through the red lens to get back to the desired red color.

Looks great! The LED is so much sharper looking.
