Hey Chuck, good video as always. I ran into the same "problem" you have, once I started swapping in LED bulbs I couldn't stop. I've had no problems with any exterior lights in either my Grand Marquis nor my Crown Vic, except the side markers on the Vic.
I originally swapped in these Sylvania bulbs but like you said, since there's only 1 chip, I was a little disappointed in the light output. So I took to Amazon to find some Chinese LEDs and I found a pair for $10 and they worked great for about 6 months. They were brighter than the Sylvanias, but after 6 months chips started failing on one bulb and the entire other bulb began flickering on and off while driving. Now I currently have another brand of Chinese LEDs that I bought on Amazon at 4 for $10. We'll see how long these last, as these are also brighter than the Sylvanias.
Moral of the story is you get what you pay for, and the desire to have bright LEDs usually ends up in an endless black hole of research and money.
Best,
Ed
Yo Ed,
Thanks for watching, and corroborating my experience.
This should help anyone who stumbles across this comment.
-Chuck
You should do a review on your hvac setup you got going on.
Right on Capn'
Not sure what you mean.
Could you explain that so I could understand?
-Chuck
@Panzer Platform in your video just before you turned out the lights I seen your heating system and it looks like it was installed really good. It just happens that I was looking for a new hvac system and ran across a glimpse of your system. Lol. I did order those ZEVO bulbs too. Good video
@@hottyscott100
LMAO, I thought you were talking about the car.
Sorry, about that.
I only do automotive videos on this channel. lol
-Chuck
I really need to change my headlights. I still have all original lights, I just haven’t gotten around to it. Great video like always.👍🏾
Yo D,
If it ain't broke, don't fix it...
Cuz, once you start with this LED nonsense, it may become a addiction. It did for me anyway.
-Chuck
I have a problem too.. 😂 lights are my thing no matter what kind of lights but especially quality! I was going to go with Amazon lights like you were as well and I bought some white LEDs for reverse lights for my 98xj Cherokee. Super bright but for the exact reasons you mentioned I want to get quality lights even if they are more expensive. Get what you pay for.
Right on Arthur,
Thanks for watching.
You can get quality led's on amazon, but it's very, very difficult to tell the good ones from the fake, counterfeit ones.
-Chuck
They look nice, I have the Alla's and they are bright... Really diggin the SYLVANIA'S
Yo Frank,
Rub it in why don't cha?
I want the Alla's too, dang it.
-Chuck
@@PanzerPlatform :D
Nice review broham
Yo Shan.
@@PanzerPlatform yooo
Hi again. You noted that the Sylvania ambers use 27 mA while the original halogens use way more. Does not having resistors for the turn signals/side markers cause hyperflash? Do they still draw the same amount of load as the halogens did?
Thanks
Yo PSG,
Thanks for coming back.
I think you might have the turn signals, and side marker bulbs mixed up.
The side marker bulbs do not flash with the turn signals. They only illuminate when you turn on the parking lamps.
Go take a look at your car, and run through all the lighting controls to check.
-Chuck
Parabéns pelo excelente vídeo!
Peço ao amigo se for possível testar lâmpadas T10 ember das marcas Osraw e Philips.
Obrigado por dividir seu grande conhecimento !
Right on Lucio,
Thanks for watching.
-Chuck
I just bought some more LED lights for my Crown Vic's today( I've been kind of stockpiling different kits so a can do it all at once). I'm really digging your tutorials and keeping us from a duplicatetion of efforts by buying the wrong products is truly making you a hero to the Panther platform owners far and wide!!!
P.S.
Hey There Chuck!
I just sent you a video/documentary that shows what I like to do to show off my Mad Max cars and other stuff with other people of the same calling.
But I got a feeling I'm one the few out there with a panther platform product....
Let me know if you like it.
Brad/ TEAM Skeeter ✌😷👍🚓🚓🚑🥵
Yo Skeet,
I tried the links and either I couldn't figure out the password, or how to use the website.
Never been a fan of Vimeo.
Could you just leave the links in the comments here?
That way everyone can see it.
-Chuck
@@PanzerPlatform Well I can't give you the password for Vimeo because it's a private video from the actual creators.
But the UA-cam video/documentary is named
"Road to Wasteland"
It is about 54 minutes long but there is a French speaking voice over that could get annoying pretty quickly. If you don't wanna watch the whole video then you can just see me starting at about 35:00 into the film.
My wasteland character name is 'Cheese-grater' and my car is 'Charlotte'
(pronounced Char-O-lette)
My side kick character is 'Eldorado'
:EDIT:
Sorry a segment I man is actually at 35 minutes(35:00) not 25
minutes(25:00) OOOPS!
@@PanzerPlatform If none of that works let me know. I did send you the private password again on your Gmail and it's just that 1 with no Capital letters(that's where everyone screws it up)word and it looks like you're downloading something that's an app but you're literally just being able to see the private videos.
I don't put unnecessary apps in my phone unless I'm actually going to use them and Vimeo isn't one of them.
(Hint: The password rhymes with 'wasteland' and has the same number of letters in it.)
I got it to work, I watched your segment.You're smile when taking about the car says it all.
Why don't you put that clip on your UA-cam channel.That would be awesome.
@@PanzerPlatform Going to that event once is almost like checking off something on a bucket list!!! This is going to be my 6th year to coming up in September if it doesn't get canceled per the CDC protocol (COVID19)
I'm planning on actually driving a Mad Max car(2008 CVPI 'VIC-SIN') to the event and back!✌😷👍♾⚔🏹🛠🚓
O when I screwed up the segment I men starts at 35 minutes(35:00) in not 25
Thorough as usual. Great content. ROY G BIV...hmmm have you ever taken art classes? Not many people would know that hahahahahaha.
Right on Chris,
You must be bored, two videos in one day.
Roy G. Biv was my 8th grade Physical Science teacher. lol
-Chuck
@@PanzerPlatform Bored? Ha, hardly.
I thought of doing this for the marker lights, replacing with led amber lights. does this take away from the main headlight if I leave them standard halogen bulbs?
Right on Josh,
That's the eternal question everyone wants to know for every bulb on the car. lol
Everyone has a different application, and there are too many variables to give an accurate answer for that question.
When it comes to replacing halogen bulbs with LED on a car there is a chance you will not be pleased with the final outcome.
Too bright.
Not bright enough.
Poor light diffusion.
Poor light pattern.
Doesn't fit the assembly properly.
It's a game of "buy & try".
So the only advice I offer is to buy from a retailer that has a 100% "cash refund" no hassle return policy if he bulb does not perform as expected.
This usually limits my purchased to Amazon, or Walmart.
All other retailers usually have a re-stocking fee, or you have to pay return shipping, or they do not accept returns period.
-Chuck
@@PanzerPlatform after putting a led Sylvania bulb in my trunk I'm definitely not pleased with the brightness. I have more coming from Amazon, Brishine (did it for free shipping) I guess I was expecting them to be like household LED bulbs. Yours definitely looks brighter, at least on camera
@@midwestpanther98
Right on,
So you know what I'm talking about.
I put that same LED Sylvania bulb in my trunk, and was not pleased with how dim it was.
This led me to install a 4 piece LED Rock Light Kit for much, much better light quality, quantity, even light diffusion.
If you're talking about a different video let me know.
-Chuck
@@PanzerPlatform that's the video I'm talking about.
Hey there,
I really enjoy your UA-cam videos. I have a 2009 P71 and I'm ready for exterior lighting upgrades. You have me sold on the Zevo 3157R for taillights, and the Auxito reverse lights. I'm just needing clarification on the amber fronts you would choose (the ones in your vic, or the mgm?) and which headlight bulb you use.
Thanks in advance and keep up the good work!
Yo Rob,
Thanks for the kind words. I’ll give you my recommendations for all the bulbs on the front end of the car, as if I were buying them for my ‘04 Vic with my own cash money.
As a general rule of thumb, I only buy LED bulbs from retailers with 100% refund return policies of 30, or 90 days. This usually means Amazon Prime, Local Walmart Stores, Walmart.com, and in the some cases eBay. I have yet to find an independent LED bulb manufacturer / retailer that provides a “zero risk trial period”. They usually have some form of restocking fee, return shipping fee, or RMA return procedure that complicates the return process.
This is important because you’re installing a “high tech” LED bulb, in a “low tech” reflector housing designed to function with conventional halogen bulbs. Any LED bulb you install in your factory head lamp assembly is going to be disappointing in some respect. Example, they may look good on low beam, but barely improve the high beam setting. If you live in an area where you need to use the high beams frequently, it will be more cost effective, and better value for money to install a 24" LED light bar behind the honeycomb grill of your P71.
Also, you’ll need to decide how to fix the hyper-flash issue, when installing LED turn signal bulbs in a Panther car. I recommend installing an “Electronic LED Compatible Flasher Relay”. If you’re unwilling, or unable to perform that modification, I recommend hardwiring quality Sylvania brand name resistors (3” in length). I do not recommend unbranded resistors (2” in length).
As far as LED headlight bulbs, I do not recommend any bulbs that have a cooling fan. I only recommend "fanless" LED bulbs. They're not as bright, but based on my experience they have less parts to malfunction, and last longer.
I’ll give you two, or three bulb recommendations for each position;
Headlight 9007, parking lamp / turn signal 3157 Amber, and corner light 194 Amber.

Thanks Chuck!
As I get older, I feel like head lights these days are too bright and sometimes blinding. Your thoughts as leds become the norm....
I live in the middle of nowhere and I have to put my hand up to block the light from oncoming cars in cause they're brighter than high beams even tho they have their low beams on.
Yo Sheila,
This comment warrants a video response in my "Viewer Question" series.
I'll need to do some research to present some usable facts.
I know you just want an easy answer, and my opinion.
But I'm unwilling, and unable to go off half cocked, or shoot from the hip on this one.
OK, OK, I'll leave you with this.
I've been buying, and installing aftermarket automotive LED bulbs for my vehicles since 2005.
In those 15 years I have very, very rarely come across an aftermarket automotive LED bulb that is DOT approved, (Department Of Transportation).
Almost always they're labeled;
"for off-road use only"
"not for use on public roads"
or something to that effect.
I remember when HID's started coming out in the late 80's, and early 90's.
The leap in technology was just as great then, as it is now.
However, at the time most HID's were factory OEM and installed in proper reflector housings, or projector housings, and aimed properly.
This should tell you where I'm going with this.
Btw, have you seen the new "white phosphor laser" headlights?
Yes, I said lasers.
-Chuck
How are they holding up? I want to get a pair for my front side markers as well.
Right on Angel,
Thanks for watching.
They still work great.
But I upgraded to a dual filament 3157 Bulb.
You can see them here;

I'll be giving my pair of 194 Amber Sylvania Zevo's away in a future giveaway video. Along with an assortment of other LED bulbs.
-Chuck
@@PanzerPlatform nice, I'll make sure to enter the giveaway. Who knows, i might get lucky;)
My Grand Marquis still has the original amber turn signal bulbs up front. Some of the coating peeled off but they still work!
