I bought stealth bulbs for my WRX four years ago but unfortunately never installed them. The WRX has an orange plastic bubble around the bulb that you have to remove and I just never got around to it. They do look great in the box though They are definitely a higher quality as far as the finish goes but I just don't think it's worth paying double for.

You might want to check the front ones out because the front is a 7444 bulb and by using a 7440 you no longer will have your parking lights up front

well.... crap.

Thanks for the heads up. This explains why Frances would start yelling at me when I turn off the headlights while going in to the gate on base at night. Ordered some 7443 bulbs (interchangeable with 7444) just now.

This thread is for the BRZ, so to answer your question; Yes it does indeed work on the BRZ, because it is only a blinker, we have LED "Angel eye" parking lights.

I just got mine, and I noticed a huge reduction of light intensity compared to the stock bulb... Don't know if I should keep them on or not...They look great while off, but a little dim for my liking when lit up.

If you don't mind people seeing these LED bulbs sticking out in the housing...The point was to find bulbs that would "camouflage" with the chrome housing itself. =/
