Has anyone used these in a 1991 Miata? I am concerned about the heat generated by halogen lights.

Ya. I wouldn't get them. They burn out quick! And they don't work well with low load flasher units.

I put these on 85 cj7 and worked perfectly. They are much brighter and look good in my opinion.I have heard if you change the front turn lamps to LEDs you might have an issue with the flasher but I cannot confirm.

Halogens do tend to get very hot. We replaced the bulbs that came with the fixture with LED bulbs that do not generate the heat.

I had no real issues installing them, they went pretty easily into Halo cans, plenty bright and depending on application I would suggest a good dimmer. I run them nearly all the time at the lowest setting in living room and a hallway

to be honest i am not sure, however just as any other LED they are quite lasting especially the power consume so low and not heat producing to the housing, like other viewer said they are last long ass time, (though i am not sure, but i agree, cause it's LED NOT HALOGEN which cause not gas or heat) i bought two pairs (set of 4) a set for DRL parkking and other for back up my DRL is everyday use whenever the car operated and its working fine since i bought it. The value on this bulb else where would cost you $30 jtech is selling lower cost and i trust them with the products they sell. I've order many LED from them all from jtech brand they are great. to be honest i am not sure, however just as any other LED they are quite lasting especially the power consume so low and not heat producing to the housing, like other viewer said they are last long ass time, (though i am not sure, but i agree, cause it's LED NOT HALOGEN which cause not gas or heat) i bought two pairs (set of 4) a set for DRL parkking and other for back up my DRL is everyday use whenever the car operated and its working fine since i bought it.

Absolutely OK. They emit close to zero heat. You can grab the bulb with your bare hands even after it has been on and not get burned.

Khanh, I put these on my car a couple of months ago. I haven't seen them fade in and out. One of the LED lights occasionally flickers when the car is shut off and the lights are on for the brief delay i have set it up for. They look good but I would suggest you buy the 40 or 60 watt version as these are not as bright as I would have liked.

Hello Tim,The LED lights put off no heat or temperature unlike the halogen lights. They can literally be left on for 24 hours and have no heat put off from them. And they also do have the working life up to 50,000 hours.Thanks for inquiring about this product. And feel free to ask anymore questions.

These do get hot, but if you stay within the max wattage recommendations for your can lights you should be just fine. They will affect the room temp, but not enough to measure or feel unless you are within inches of the light.

I do know know directly, but since they are LED's they should not get hot enough to melt plastic. I mounted mine on an aluminium plate using a grommet, this is the same Al plate that my tail lights are attached to. Since they are used at Back-up lights, they are not on very long, and only when the vehicle is in reverse.

Could you clarify the question? I do not know what a heat emitter is but have been able to use bulbs that get very hot.

You really can't tell they give off any heat at all, I've never noticed them to be excessively warm. You can use an LED instead but I have yet to find an LED that doesn't really stick out in that lightbulb design, the LEDs have a lot of plastic in their design as opposed to the halogens that have a sleek, metal look to them.

I am useing the flat lightbulb shaped LED bulbs in mine and have had no issues. They are cooler and brighter and it is noticable. The other bulbs were very hot, expensive and delicate.

I tested each of mine before I installed the to verify which wire was common and ,brake , tail/light ,backup because of what you mentioned . (no instructions)I also verified existing wiring colors for their function and connected the new lights and had no issues. they work great and are a lot brighter than the originals.

I am sure they get hot. I bought LED bulbs on amazon and they work well and stay cool and are dimmable.

from the factory they have oil on them and with the amount of heat created by the light it will burn the oil. This should only happen first couple times you use it, if it persists then you might have an issue.
