I am pleased.
These were very easy to install in my Subaru Legacy. I did wait to put the dust covers on until I verified that the lights turned on which was a good idea since I had to flip the connector on both bulbs so they would work.I don't know that they are any brighter than the incandescent bulbs that were installed, but I would not say they are less bright. The color temp. is noticeably cooler as one would expect from an LED bulb and I like it. I have not had anyone flash their brights at me and it appears that they have roughly the same cutoff as the incandescent bulbs (which I would expect from the design of the headlight). Unless they do not last well, I am not sorry that I ordered them at all.

So Far So Good
Ive been using these in my 2012 Mazda CX-7 Sport for about a month now. I've owned this car since it was brand new and the only real complaint I have with it is with its headlamps. Each low beam bulb has consistently blown out after one year of use. This has been really annoying and keeps me spending money on replacement bulbs. My hope is these will last longer, but time will tell. The other issue I have is that due to the design of the headlamp housing, it is impossible to upgrade the low beams with a high output LED bulb. Although not high output, these do seem to be brighter then the Sylvania H7XV.BP2 XtraVision Halogen Headlight Bulbs I've been using. I'll be sure to update this in a few more month, but so far so good. As of right now they are the best upgrade I've been able to find.

One of the better quality 3157 LED bulbs on the market so far!
The media could not be loaded. As mentioned in my video review...The first thing I noticed about this bulb is the quality. While other LED bulbs have chip housings of flimsy plastic this one is aluminum and is very solid yet lightweight and seemingly well designed for heat dissipation.The most impressive thing about this one is the dimensions. The length is the same as the factory incandescent bulb, and the LED chips are in the approximate same location of the incandescent filament. This is important because the factory bulb housing and reflectors are designed around that shape and light output point. That means you should get more even light output.The connection pins are durable and don't appear to be easily "bent out of shape". One thing not mentioned in my review is that while the base is plastic, but heavy duty and very tough. Not cheap feeling at all.I have been testing LED bulbs (specifically 3157 bulbs) for a while and upon initial testing with a power supply, this one seems to be of higher quality than most, even some that are much more expensive. I expect it to perform very well, definitely better than an incandescent bulb. Overall and for the money, the design and quality is great.If you are new to LED bulb replacements, don't forget that for a bulb that is being used for a turn signal, you will need a load resistor to prevent it from "hyper-flashing" and get the same color as the lens it will be behind.

The brightness
The media could not be loaded. Really bright so far

Great bulb that needed modification
My parents 2011 Hyundai Sonata's OEM lights were pretty dim. Buffing the exterior of the light fixture helped but only a little. I went looking for a replacement for them but wanted to find something that had adequate light but didn't require modification of the housing.Note: For those with a Hyundai who are trying to get the right bulb, the H7 bulb will fit your high beam and low beam and the h11 will fit your fog lights if you have them.Back to the lights themselves. These lights are indeed brighter as you can tell from the pictures. There is one hitch however. To get the plug oriented properly, I had to take a Dremel tool with a cut off wheel to the outer ring of the bulb (see images). It only took about 5 minutes per bulb and I could have used wire cutters in a pinch if I didn't have the Dremel.Once that was done the bulbs went in perfectly. The amount of light they put out is great while not blindingly so. For those with a Hyundai or other similar application, it might take a little work to get these in but I'd say it's worth it.

Great alternative for the OEM ones.
Great alternative to the OEM bulbs. I was just looking for something with more brightness and these did the trick. Good customer service and build quality too. I will update later to determine longevity.

Well built headlight bulbs
Arrived in time, with the small body design, I can install them like my stock headlight bulbs, but they are polarity sensitive, you need to turn the bulb 180 degree and retry if no lights after installation.Much brighter than my stock one, I will upload some good pictures when I get time. Over all they worth the money, don’t hesitate to try it : )

Bright red brake light
These red 7443 leds are bright. You can see in the 2nd picture. Oxilam 7443 on the LEFT(outter) and stock on the RIGHT. this is with Parking Mode. The 3rd picture shows Braking mode, this is when you step on the Brake pedal. You can see how much brighter it gets.. There were 1 review saying how there was little difference between parking and braking mode due to the intensity of the light. Well, i dont know what led bulb they used but clearly it was not these. Parking mode = much brighter then stock. Braking mode = wayyy brighter then parking mode.. you CAN tell the difference between 2 modes..Overall, i am very pleased with these. Could not change out the inner brake light due to it size being a 194. Didnt know that until tonight. I had ordered 4 of these Red 7443 led thinking the inner brake lamp also uses 7443, but i am wrong. End up using the spare on another vehicle, which works fine.

Great product
Fantastic, excellent for rear turn signal. Need load resistors though.

Bought Feb 2021, burned out by Dec 2021 with only 6000km driven
Bought and installed Feb 2021, by Dec 2021 they are fully flickering, on/off strobing, also flashing higher brightness with zero pedal taps, then all off with random flickering on. Bench tested them too, and it happens with a power supply, so it isn’t a bulb base or truck wiring issue. Good thing I noticed them strobing in a store window then go out entirely as I was waiting for a light at night, otherwise I’d have had no idea I didn’t have rear running taillights and no brake lights either. No idea how long they have been failing and doing this, as you can’t see your own brake lights, so don’t get to check on them very often.Dec 2021 with only 6000km drivenYou can see the fried COBs (with the black centre) in the photoSad about this, as they are super bright and look great in the multi-face reflector taillights, but that reliability is scary

Bright (revised review)
super bright amber led, only downfault is they hyper flash with signal lights... soooo i either have to add resistors of find the led style relay to stop it...I also got the red set, they work great as i have a separate style bulb for signals so no hyper flashing with brake and park lights and there nice deep red and bright.*update, there such good brite lights, ive bpught 2 mpre sets for my 99 wheeling cherokee**** update as of 2022, feb 13thI have these bulds in my nissan nv2500 as park and brake lights, ive gone through 2 set of these now in a year period, 1 of each set ends up partly burning out and flickers... i love these bulds but if you drive lots of miles, these dont hold up being on long hours .... sooo hunts on for that led buld that cant handle long use with this type of brightness

Bright....but NOISY
They are NOISY. When I hit the brakes, my communications radios are wiped out...and also my broadcast radio. This is due to poor switching power design considerations with respect to noise egress. Even the "marker lamp" causes a significant degree of interference. Although they are bright, they are not worth the fact they destroy the radio receivers. Too bad. I'm sending them back.
