Which LED brake light?

[Meanderthal]

XP80 is Diode Dynamics Part number for their highest brightness LED brake light.

I chose the HP11 LED bulbs from them, supposedly same brightness as the original halogen brake lights. I'm happy with them and they do appear brighter than the original brake lights.

What is weird is that I think both links are for XP80 lights, but the one you posted cost $5 more. I used their vehicle search tool to find the ones they specifically call out for the BS. They aren’t labeled as XP80 but one of the images claims that is what they are. Either way, I expect they are brighter than stock.

Digging deep into the text, it seems they are both 510 lumens. I see no reason to spend $5 more.

I have no idea what's going in at Diode Dynamics. When I searched them a few days ago for BS bulbs, the only product that came up in the search was backup lights.
Months ago, before I got my car, I bought both the backup lights and brake light LEDs from them. I was hoping to find that they had added turn signal bulbs.

That’s interesting … the HP11 shows as 310 lumens (see earlier post)

Turn signal option on this post:

They don’t seem to list any H11 options, though I’m sure they have them. It feels like the website is a work in progress, though I guess a website should always be.

I have, in the past, frequently purchased Diode Dynamics. They are garbage. They look nice for a while, and then there's about 50/50 chance that they will fizzle out and you will have to replace them.

I've had good exprience with Raxiom and Baja Designs.

I don’t see tail lights, turn signal or backup lights from Baja Products or Raxiom.

maybe my search was flawed but buying diode dynamics seems to makes sense for certain applications to replace bulbs with LED when there aren’t better choices?

If its just the tailight bulb, you might be fine. Depends on how exposed to the elements it ends up being (moisture, heat, humidity, etc). Up to you. I said my peace. I've had numerous experience with Diode Dynamics where the bulb just fizzles out after 6 months (even on an interior dome light). But that very well may not happen to you.

I don’t doubt that. After you posted the info (which we all appreciate the heads up), I googled and found a handful of articles with comparisons, reviews and tests so will do that reading when I get time. Thanks!!

There are at least a couple of links that sort of almost point to same? XP80 both showing 510 lumens bulb but one link also shows the HP48 (250 lumens) and HP11 (310 lumens) which Rushman stated in his post.

I also didn’t find H11 (i assume you meant the low beam bulb or fog lamp bulb) for Bronco Sport but those are already LED on the BS.

Thjese are really good. Had them for a year and a half. No issues.

Those are 1156 base type. My BS has wedge type T15 base bulbs.
