Quick question (thank you in advance!):
In a recent thread, Alaric and Virgil mentioned a Philips 1156 LED replacement:
Q: Although designed for back-up lights, would the above LED also work well in a stop or turn application?
The car in question is a 2000 VW Golf (Mk IV), which employs P21W bulbs for the Stop, Turn, and Back-Up functions. I'm currently using Honda P21W bulbs for Stop and Turn (Virgil, thank you again for the recommendation there!) and am very happy with them, so I'm just wondering for the more-or-less distant future when those bulbs eventually burn out. If the Philips LED is not a great improvement, I'll stick with the Honda bulbs -- but it's fun to think ahead about safe & legal upgrades, if the Philips LED falls into that category. =)
Cheers and Thanks very much.

The linked Philips LED bulb is actually designed for back-up lights, and it is probably the best bulb for this particular application.For an LED, the Philips here might fit the bill....
