Philips 7440WLED Ultinon LED Bulb (White), 2 Pack

Very impressed with these bulbs. I’ve purchased Philips Ultinon LED’s as well as Sylvania in the past but the shape and design of this pair is far superior. They no longer have that odd shape and they relocated the diodes which improved the light output and they also added a lens cover. Only downside is because these bulbs draw way less current they will cause a bulb out warning on majority of newer vehicles which can only be solved by splicing in a load resistor. My lights still work great without the resistors even though the bulb warning is there but it doesn’t bother because they still work and function as normal. I’ve considered installing resistors but do to the location of reverse lights being on my lift gate I’d have to remove my liner just to be able get to a location to mount the resistors to which is the only way to mount them because they’re extremely hot and will burn plastic. Hopefully one day Philips creates bulbs with built in load resistors!

Replaced the rear turn signals on my 2018 Acura TLX with 7440 Ultinon LEDs. Installed them with the Philips CANbus resistors. They work well and look great. They appear to be well engineered and OEM quality. The resistors really do get hot and I was careful to mount them with the included nylon ties on to metal inside the body.

I was most concerned about these bulbs having hyper flash and needing to add a resistor. Not the case for my 2012 Subaru Outback. Plug and play and they work just fine. They might be somewhat brighter, but not much. I just hope they last longer than the incandescent bulbs that I've had bad luck with.

The 7440WLED works and fits perfectly in 2022 Nissan Rogue, no hyperflash, no error. Unfortunately I needed the amber color for this purpose. Unfortunately, It doesn't seem that Philips is selling the 7440 in amber.

yeah, get sunglasses because these suckers are bright! helps so much when i reverse into my spot at home. there's a lot of trees around here, and not much street or ambient light, and these LED reverse bulbs have greatly improved my rearward vision when trying to back into my spot at home.

Don't install on CAN bus cars (almost anything built after the late '90's) - will throw error codes,at least on my VW. (car will say "bulb failure", even though the bulbs do work.) Disappointed, I thought Phillips would have this sorted by now; shouldn't be that hard! FWIW you can use LED replacements on most interior lights as they aren't typically part of the exterior bulb warning system, and it's a huge improvement. I do recommend Phillips products for these applications, just not anything on the exterior.

Only 1 star for brightness because it's not really any brighter than the yellow color oem bulbs that's installed with my Outlander 2011, probably even dimmer directly behind the car when reversing. My red brake lights are even brighter directly behind the car. And there's no way I can adjust orientation of led installation because it will only go one way into the bulb slot of the reversing lights. Illumination is brighter to the sides of the car than to the rear of the car. The only thing I like is the color of the beam which is white and not yellow. 5 stars to easy installation because it's simple to put in and with regards to longevity, I only assumed it will go the distance because it's a Philips.

2015 vw gti works well, no error codes and the brightness between brakes and normal are noticeable.
