No bubble bursted, I only reported what I had heard before. I did check on their site and saw that they changed their name to Chrome. They did have the SilverVision name on them before when I purchesed them a while back. You are correct, they have no name stamped on them so they cannot be the Phillips. I am sure they get these from a Chinese supplier as in former searches, I have come across such at unreadalbe (by me) web sites. Then again, what's not made in China now days? I should be getting a chance soon to put the amber LEDs in to take the pics I said I was going to. I will post them to show the difference no matter if they are less bright or more bright so as to report as to which is the brightest.

D,

Definitely looking forward to the pictures of the amber LEDs.
(BTW, do they look clear when off or are the LEDs amber?)
Lastly, being quite stuck on going with "silver/chrome" incandescent turn signals, have you any experience with any other sellers (besides the autoillumination.com people) that you can advise upon?

I just tried a set of 194 LEDs for the front side markers. Very disapointed with how little light they produced. About 1/16 th of the light that the OEM bulbs produce. They are clear when off. One benefit I did notice was they do not throw any noticable heat like the stock bulbs do. If you notice the cars that use LEDs tend to stack them in rows so they produce enough light and are backed up by the others in case one goes out you still have some for signaling. Not good for illuminating a side marker. IMHO

I will say after looking back in the post I am thinking about the replacement bulbs for the brake; reverse and turn signals. I will wait for confirmation on the picture proof of Lumens produced by the LED vs OEM.

The efficiency of LED's compared to the stock bulbs is incredible. No where near the same amount of heat (or wasted energy) that the stock bulbs produce.

I got some 7440's from ebay and they were a perfect fit, $15 for the pair. And about another $20 to ship to UK!

I only put them in the front, as the clear corners in the UK are turn signals, so the reduced light from the chromed bulbs is compensated by having the clear corners. At the back I left the stock ones as they could have been dangerous.
