Anyone tried out the Phillips Xtreme Vision LED brake light set?

I was thinking of giving it a go but at $170 for the pair its a bit of a risky investment for a light bulb lol 

you can get them off eBay over seas for under $100 shipped but still are they worth it?

Note the off road use only lol so im assuming there fairly bright?

I couldn't justify spending that much on brake light globes. Especially if your lense is red also.

Yeah, not worth the money

If your brake lights can be seen, you don't need them. It probably would annoy other drivers at night also.

If you really want them, just buy cheap made ones from China. I would never spend that much as any LED will last a long time.

The reason it has off road only, as they are not legal as far as how much light they put out. Plus its not legal to go from halogen/incandescent to LED.

MY00 Red RX, a nice daily that was sold off once the B4 became reliable...
MY02 Blue B4, aka 'The Project' - v8 JDM STi engine package and assorted other 'goodies' - Sold, then bought back for parts. Stripped and crushed.
MY03 Blue RX, the newer old daily, pretty well more B4 than RX now... In the process of being converted to the track toy... Watch this space!
MY02 Silver Wagon, H6 conversion, full blue/black leather and almost full black interior to go with it. In process of being stripped and sold off.
MY03 White/Silver H6 Outback, donor car for silver waghoon. Scrapped.
MY97 Silver RX, acquired to become track car, but plans changed. Scrapped.

MY13 BRG, current daily, very nice to drive, small mods to make it even nicer again.
