im not sure you could do it yourself because i believe the chmsl works on a certain amount of current, and the led's dont flow enough..... you would need to use some type of circuit board and that goes way beyond most diyourselfers

Judging from this link, they aren't crushingly expensive and if they

to be the main difference. I suppose that physical size and current
draw are the limiting criteria to how powerful a LED to choose. Elsewhere
on the site, there is information about current draw, intensity and
other parameters of interest.
Thanks for putting these on my radar.

Can only help with after-market nos. on a box I bought quite a few years ago....Sylvania 891..on the packet it states..."High Mount Stop". If I remember correctly, these were a lot cheaper than the ones from C. Cent., MAD, etc..

i believe they are actually a halogen-type blub too...not just an incadescent, like most mini bulbs, so you are not soposed to touch the glass. i havent seen one in awhile though, so i may be wrong.

I think he meant that, but the way it reads could be misinterpreted.
Plus, his spelling is atrocious.

sorry about the obvious typo's but yes you are correct the halogen is an incandescent bulb, however the point i was trying to make is that it is like a headlamp bulb, so you cant touch the glass or the grease from your fingers will cause a different rate of expansion and contraction across the surface of the bulb, causing it to prematurly fail...
