I just bought a pair of these at Auto Zone for my motorcycle. On my taillights, they are supposed to light up as running lights and then become brighter when I brake, but it didn't even light up as running lights and when I braked the light was dim. I thought the bulb might be defective so I switched the bulb with the other one I bought. Same problems. So I tried it on my front turn signal which has running lights also. Same problem, it doesn't light up. When signal it worked but it wasnt bright. I thought LEDs are supposed to be bright. My factory bulbs were much brighter. So I tried them on the Maxima. Same problems. I advise you guys not to buy this product because it doesn't function properly. Now I have to go all the way back to return this peice of junk. I'm going to order Eurolights LED bulbs from EIP and see if they work better.

What was the wattage on the bulbs? Maybe that was it...

Too late for me! I bought a set from JCWhitney....

It's not a bad pair...

The low is very dim and the high is barely visible. The pattern is not evenly distributed either... it shoots the <dim> light in a narrow angle...
