In need of a bulb for my stop lamp I first went to Advanced Auto Parts, I found that they only sell Sylvania bulbs, so I didn't purchase anything, but what I did find was 3 or 4 Sylvania LED bulbs, the back of the package was labeled "for interior and license plate use only"... Refusing to give my money to Sylvania I then went to Auto Zone, I could not prepare myself for what I found...
While I was standing there in shock staring at the shelf an employee came up and asked if I needed help, I asked her if the Pilot LED bulbs were legal, "Ive been told they are not" was her reply. So I then ask why they are for sale, she had no response. I left her with some information to forward to her store manager, but I doubt it will do any good. We are losing this battle... Needless to say I left there and went to a local shop and purchased a single Wagener bulb for 2 dollars, the employee told me that they are switching to Sylvania as well and will no longer carry other brands.
Why does no one carry Phillips, Osram, etc? And why is NHTSA allowing these major companies to stock the shelves with these LED bulbs (Im mainly referring to the Pilot with this question) and how is Sylvania getting away with selling lights for "interior or license plate use only" if they will fit in other places of vehicle...
