Now, I have NOT used any of Hoen products on my car or anything for that matter, but maybe I can be more of a expert witness. I have long history with LEDs and using them in all sorts of electronic modifying applications. They are finicky and often a pain in the butt if not done right. For a good Blue LED you will pay in the region of 4-7 bux depending on the quality. After that you will spend a few more bux on resistors and whatever else is necessary to get them soldered and wired. so we can guesstimate in the region of 10-16 bux for two. ending with just the wired LED and a amateur quality and finish. Now, from these pictures those HOEN pieces look first rate. 55 for a complete housing plug and play for 2 is not bad at all. (for a porsche no less) now the other bulbs have built on heatsinks for crying out loud! that is a very nice touch (if you did not know LEDs are more sensitive to heat) increasing lifespan. So 33 for those are not bad either.
that said they LOOK like a very solid reliable product compared to "Joe's lights" on Ebay.
just my opinion. For me, I hate dealing with online buying. If I can buy once for a reasonable price. that is my choice. |
Lobo, you can marry my sister !
Thanks for the excellent clarification !

p.s. The ones that I purchased look like the LED's in the second photo.
