I received my LED bulbs today and the bayonets were offset when they should be even. I called www.autolumination.com and they said that I could file down the top bayonet so it will fit which I did and it fit fine with no play at all. I tested the brakes and the LED did not light. I only have one led in the left brake light the other brake light has the regular bulb. Do you think I need both LED'S in for them to work? I did not want to file down the other one in case I was to return them. Do you test these bulbs like a regular bulb? I tested the bulb and get no reading.

They are indexed the same here is a pic. The LED'S contacts are oval, do you think I should file them down to match the regular bulb? Do they test the same with a meter like a regular bulb?

I took out the socket on the car to get a better look and it looks like the contacts are touching as they should. I don't know whats wrong, I find it weird that when I test the bulb I get no reading (not sure if this is normal unlike a regular bulb) Still not sure if I should file and put the other LED in the other brake and see if thats the problem (might need both LED's to work?)

Hey Aero, are they way brighter than the regular incandesant bulbs.

I was just outside with the 47, my incandesant look darn good and bright from behind in the dark. The LEDs should be way brighter I would imagine, and how about in daylight, would the LEDs be a lot easier to see for traffic from behind.

I plan to convert my tailights to stop lights also via some circuitry, that way the stop lamp and the tail lights will illuminate when the brakes are applied.........Thanx Fred
