Default Upgrading to LED front park/signal lights

Just installed 4x4TruckLEDs head lights and fogs now want to do the front park/signal. Can get the Morimoto LEDs in Canada with free shipping. Anyone have any experience with these and how they compare to Diode Dynamics? Just looking for the amber LEDs

Not really looking to spend $100+US then another 30% exchange.

I'd recommend Diode Dynamics... we sell Morimoto as well but we prefer to sell the Diode Dynamics replacement bulbs.

With that said, buy what you can up there in Canada. We know it's rough with the exchange rates/etc... I just don't know how bright those will be compared to the Diode Dynamics but Morimoto is a good brand name.

They are rated at 500 lumens vs 520 for Diode Dynamics.

Look at the ACME series that Theretrofitsource.com sells. They are bright as heck! I have some 3157 switchbacks and 921 w16w and they light up great. No flickering and TRS stands behind their stuff.

I have the acme. They are a great light. I've had it since Black Friday last year and no issues.

Only issue I had was the black anodized coating faded off to a copper/brown color. I have learned to live with it as the output is amazing (this on a 3157 switchback).
