Any issue?

Or at least to double contact bulbs?

I did. For some reason the stock bulbs are still brighter than LED bulbs. Tried another set of LED bulbs from another supplier, same result.

my wild guess is, it is perceived so, because of the location of the filaments and/or the LED units inside the bulb.
the filament-type bulb is more in tune with the reflector, and has a more focused beam.
the LED is not in tune with the reflector, and the beam is not as focused.

There is something with the red that “filters” the bulb brightness. I installed the same LED bulbs on the reverse lights and they seem bright.

Based on what i read on google, there are LED bulbs that can match or exceed the brightness of the stock tail light bulbs, but are expensive. For me not worth it.

BA15S na led bulb. Built-in na canbus module. Mga led bulbs ngayon usually may error / hyper-blinking module na.

Ok thanks,
Single contact lang pala yung both brake lights ng HARI units.

Yes bro. As you said, those are for the HARI units.

However for Hancar units, they had them P21W double contact - 5W/21W. 4park/4brake lights.

I converted all four bulbs to double contacts... Just like Hancar...

Na backread ko nga yang conversion to double contact parang gray market starex.
Magandang project sana, tinamad lang akong mag DIY,

So itong mga HARI units, all 4 rear stop/brake lights are P21W single contact?
Or yung upper light lang ang P21W and yung lower red light na parang park light ay 5W lang?

Kung P21W single contact silang lahat, that explains kung bakit parang mas mahina yung kinabit na led ni Bench.
Most led kasi for brake light single contacts are only between 3W-9W.

I did the DIY bro. Note that a pair of original sockets is already for double contact bulbs and you can just use/transfer the wires of the second pair of sockets to make them work for double contact bulbs..

So bottomline you just need to buy a pair of sockets for double contact bulbs...

All of the four original bulbs of the HARI units, which are single contacts are approx 21W, based on the size of their filaments....

Hhhhmmmmm, let me measure their actual wattage...

Thanks for the info, mukha kasing euro model yung gamit ng hari.
Isang double contact P21/5W at isang single na may 21W.
So im assuming na 5w lang yung park light and 21w yung brake light.
