Anyone running the Sylvania Zevo Led bulbs in your taillights? How are they? If not, what else do you use and what is the results?

I'm running United Pacific LED tail light bulbs with excellent results.

I use ZEVO bulbs in each vehicle I have, most especially my '63 T-Bird (except headlights, so far). They are a bit pricey, but great bulbs and I strongly recommend them in every outlet you can find the bulbs for, inside and outside your car. Give especially good STOP and Turn illumination front and rear. Very noticeable. Been using for several YEARS. Nothing better IMHO.

Great to hear. Thank you. I ended up putting some lazfit in the taillights. They are great. I will be deciding what to put in the front turn signals. May go zevo. In a cheap trial I slapped some no name led 1157 in the front signals but it wouldn't flash with the front and rear being LED. Went back to an incandescent so they'd flash.. Any suggestions?

Led bulbs don't draw much power so your flasher unit probably thinks that the bulb is dead. I think you need to get a different flasher unit with a resistor possibly.
