semilar to these:

They are with multiple LEDs on it, so if one quit, the others still gave some light to save the tail of my car.

I also think they give more light than the old bulbs.

In Germany are these LED bulbs prohibited, but savety first !

How are You thinking about them ?

It is hard to believe these lights are banned in Germany. But these lights looks very nice to me

It is strange these lights are banned in Germany. These lights looks nice from my side.

Wonder why? But then again, the old "Blue dot" jewel on hot rod taillamps were a "No No" and police could razz you for them. Mainly the yearly inspection guy blasted you for them. A co-worker has a 1996 mustang and bought a sequential led kit for the 3 red panel tail lights on a 96 to 98 stang. These things are supposed to work like the early Merc Couger tails and pulse sequentially from the inside lens towards the outer corner. An E- bay kit for 20 to 30 bucks???? Well after a few weeks they stopped working... no light or sequence. Oddly enough the kit wired into just one socket on his original harness. He put back a regular incandescent bulb and the whole thing worked. A little more insight was the "Burden resistor" was crap and without current being pulled across those LEDs - no light. A lot of these efficient light tech stuff needs good ol' electric load to make it work. Perhaps this is why they don't like them.
