I was going to ask how the hell you get them through the bulb opening in the light cluster, then I noticed that the arms are sprung hinged :oops:

I haven't tried them (obviously lol) but yeah, they look like they might be ok... The only thing that I can think of is that LED stop/indicator lights tend to be clear plastic lenses?

Both mine and my wife's car have these fitted, they are 1000 per cent better than standard, so nobody runs in the backend.....you cannot miss the light :-) at night they look great as you get the patter of the arms.

Think ours were cheaper as they were supplied by our son-in-law who runs LED Depot :-)

Drop me a pm if you want to know more.

The difference in brightness is like night and day.

Just realised that this pic actually shows the inners with the bulbs in, the outers also have, but the brake pedal is being pressed hence the outers are brighter. Gayle does'nt have these wired up for all 4 on with brakes.

2nd pic is a not so good shot showing the star bulb in the RIGHT side of the car:

Will try and get some better pics tonight to try and show the Star shape a bit better.

They WILL fit all lights that take a standard Tail/brake - Tail bulb on our cars.

All the legs are folded together which fits (just) through our bulb hole, once they are half way through the springs open the legs and they fan out. Everything else is as per normal.

We have fitted them to approx 10 MR2's and never had an issue.

They are also designed so than when you want to take them out, as you pull them out of the hole, the legs fold back in again.

best place is from LED Depot (http://www.led-depot.co.uk/) let him know you have been talking to me and I'm sure he will sort you out. Also does an excellent range in all the LED bulbs for the MR2 and makes an awesome job of converting the heating control units WITHOUT having any dull spots ;-)

How valid is this argument?
Mine are just oem bulbs, but light up extremely well too!
It even illuminates signs and whole cars on my rear.

oh wait.

You meant taillight?
I meant brake light ...
