Phinlion 3600 bulb

[robkay]

Sorry to take so long to get back on this product. I installed the bulbs a few weeks ago, but didn't have a need to drive at night until a couple days ago.

So, definitely not saying this just because I bought them (free Amazon returns so I could have sent them back), but I am very happy with these bulbs!

There is a main, back firing SMD in the tip of the fixture, then three (3) SMD's that project to the sides. I don't know about later model Yaris's, but in my '07 Hatch, the side projecting SMD's insert far enough into the enclosure to be able to take advantage of the reflectors and they really light up to the sides well. The enclosure is well ventilated and there is plenty of clearance to the front, so I'm not concerned about heat--although, I wouldn't put the car in reverse and sit there with the brakes on for a long time and test fate, right?

Now my evaluation is based on dry pavement, right? When it's wet and the pavement is black you still have the same issue as with any other bulbs.

No idea as regards longetivity as the bulbs have only in the car a few weeks.

I would recommend these bulbs as reverse bulbs and would be interested in other's thoughts if they decide to try them. They we're $19.99/pr on Amazon.
