a nichia led is like your standard led
what you think of when u hear led, its simply a elongated half circle that is intense but only from one direction
alot of places mislead using those and superflux leds saying they put out more lumens that even a car headlight
this is by FAR, not true
high power leds are only starting to be released that are close to the power of a headlight
for instance the SSC p series contains a 10 watt led that puts out 900 lumens.
a nichia led MIGHT put out 3 lumens

luxeon is known for high power leds as well, but nothing in the SSC light output yet

neways
i dont have a link
just go to v-leds.com
its the same stuff youll find on ebay
i havent replaced those cause i still havent put on my led taillights
once i do ill buy a set
verify the bulb name/size with sylvania's website for bulb replacement
