Rats, those were white. Do you think these would work? Says will fit 7443.

Hey old man you click on color options below the picture and pick amber. On the link I sent you, not your link! I can take pictures tomorrow before you buy if you want to see them both on dim and bright.

Also John I had a issue with the zevo connecting into the turn signal socket for the headlights... The 3157R for the taillights clicked in perfect. idk if my metal clips in the sockets got pressed in too much from the ibrightstars or what. But my zevos wouldn't click in, so I took a pointed dental pick and re opened the metal prongs in the socket. It finally seated tight but it worried me when they sat in there loose off the get go. The zevo looked to be a more true 7443 socket then the ibrightstar.

OMG!! Musta been the beer, ya, that's it!! Please, send a photo, I'm leaning towards those for the turns/parking. I looked in the owners manual for the bulb size for the front markers, says W5W. Haven't tried to cross reference yet, but will the 7443 work there as well?


Never mind, I see the 7443 is a T20 socket, and the W5W is a T10.

Here are the pictures John. Due to no forward facing led chips some angles dont seem as bright as halogens. With these your relying on the illumination of light in the headlight reflector, in which it does well in our headlights. I knew this buying them but I'm still happy with my purchase. I'm sure oncoming traffic doesn't mind no forward facing leds blinding them.

Dim mode



Bright mode

I've had the same issue with Zevo's when I installed them. The front turns felt a little loose, so I put a wrap of electrical tape around them after plugging them into the socket. That seemed to work fine, they have never been a problem.
Much like Nuke Welder I really like the Zevo bulbs as well.
I think the W5W bulb will also take a 2825, or a 194 bulb.
