Has anyone used these wedge bulbs before?

I am looking for some pictures of the light output.

A nice guy from PriusChat.com bought a pair of these and made a video of the output.

Make sure you pick high quality.

I am still on the fence about the bulbs. I would love to use these for the license plate bulbs but I think the extra blue hue might get some unwanted attention from the CA LEO's.

If anyone decides to try these please post some pictures.

These tend to have a narrow beam pattern so use them in a good location where spread isn't that much of an issue.

pingu

The narrow beam should not be too much of an issue if there is a diffuser. The area that might post a problem is in the license plate lights (on the 2GS anyways).

Chrispy bought a pair and will post pics when they come in 2 weeks.

usually these bulbs have pretty good light dispersion angles. It's those old school 5mm LEDs that have narrow dispersion. I wouldn't expect a full 90 degree viewing angle though, but definitely better than 45 degrees.

Why not just buy from www.superbrightlightsled.com or www.autolumination.com?

superbrightled sucks. Their LED's burn out in a couple of months.

I had them, never burned out on me. Where did these LED's get placed?

My superbrightLEDs didn't burn out...the clear lense broke off

it doesn't matter though because their 'white' LEDs are not truely white anyways. I was disappointed when they gave off a hint of blue.

I'm going to be retrofitting an insanely bright bulb for the overhead lamp. i just hope the OEM difusser is good enough

The guy from the Prius forum posted another video.

I would rather have pictures though. The camera distorts the actual light color.

Sorry for the delay guys. I forgot about this thread.



This picture shows the real color.



This picture looks really blue but it shows the dispersion.



This is what I think it looks like in person.

I actually sell these 194 light bulbs a while back.
I am still using in on my license plate though.

I love how it looks.

Can you still get these bulbs for cheap Nigel?

Put very well.. I bought a set of these for my license plate (through V-led)... I dont like them they gave a narrow beam and would need another one between the 2 to light the whole plate. As you can see in Crispy's pictures, there is a void of black in between the lights output. As said above, if they are used for an area where spread isnt an issue.... good deal.
