they were about 700, but I returned them.

I advise NOT to get them.
While the brake lights were OK, blinkers are very weak. To the extent I find them unsafe to drive, even at night.
Blinker is OK only at night when not braking, meaning the brake light is not on.
Once the brake is lit - turn signals are barely visible.

I compared it to OEM light bulb and the LED 718 style is way weaker.

They looked cool, although on black car it looked kind of weird, like too much black in the back.

On a separate note - passenger side was leaking. I washed the car and water got inside. I dried it as I thought maybe I did not tighten them enough.
Next rain - water inside again... and that was the main reason for the return.
Dim light - I would be looking how to get them fixed...

You must of purchased a bad or cheaper set. I've had mine for around 2 years and none of that is true with the set I bought. The blinkers are plenty bright and I've had 0 leaks.
