I've been playing with various LEDs all winter from bulbs to LED boards and checking with a light meter. I found these iBrightstar with a projector beam to be the simplest and brightest. They flash just fine without a resistor. Order them in red, clear LEDs tend to wash out the red lens too much.

I just bought these from Amazon. I have tried them on a regular flasher and a low or no load flasher, and have yet to get them to perform consistently correct. In fact , they very seldom perform as they should.

When you say "they flash just fine without a resistor" do you mean that you didn't change the flasher from "stock"? I ordered these, but didn't order a new flasher.

I do have a new American Autowire harness with the flasher that was included in the kit. But it is a standard flasher. Other than the 2 dash indicators, still have incandescent bulbs everywhere else and they flash like normal. We did a 5 day back road trip last month, glad I had the extra brightness, lots of idiots driving around.

I am hoping that they're going to work with my existing (original) wiring harness and flasher. Everything else is incandescent now.

I ordered four of the bulbs you linked to, they arrive tomorrow. Amazon said that "they didn't fit my '67 GTO" but I don't think they have that right - and they recommended other bulbs that clearly WILL NOT fit based on the bulb bases.

Thanks for sharing the measurements. Are you comparing incandescent with LED or do these iBrightstar assemblies operate at two different currents/brightness? If so, is there a switch to set brightness or ???
