• Direct replacement for factory 1156-size incandescent bulb
• 48 Epistar 3014 LED chips in an omnidirectional design
• Diffusing cover for even output and a clean off-appearance
• 250 measured lumens (cosmetic upgrade, matches factory output)
• Molded connector with sturdy terminals

A Cosmetic Upgrade, Not a Brightness Upgrade

The HP48 is built for owners who want to swap the factory bulb's yellowish incandescent glow for a modern LED look, without necessarily needing more total light output. Populated with 48 Epistar 3014 LED chips, the HP48 is genuinely a cosmetic upgrade at 250 measured lumens, matching your factory bulb's output rather than exceeding it. A diffused PC lens surrounds the LED chips so light shines uniformly rather than in distinct points, and a cap on top directs output backward rather than straight out. That's exactly the kind of thoughtful design Diode Dynamics built its reputation on.

Clean Installation, Clean Appearance

Installation takes minutes: simply remove the factory bulb and the HP48 fits snugly into the same socket, with a molded connector and sturdy terminals for a secure electrical connection. Because it's designed as a cosmetic swap rather than a brightness upgrade, it's the right choice if you want the modern LED look without changing how much light actually reaches the road. It's backed by Diode Dynamics' industry-leading three-year replacement warranty. For a component this critical, that level of engineering is worth having.
