Why you shouldn’t buy an old bulb (used or N.O.S.)?
If you were to buy an N.O.S. (new old stock) bulb from a vendor at a swap meet, the going price per bulb would almost equal what we charge for our complete set. And what the vendor doesn’t tell you is that when you go to energize your newly purchased N.O.S. bulb, it may instantly burn out, or is certainly destined for a very short life. Obviously, this is also true of bulbs purchased from junk yards.
The reason is simple. These bulbs were not designed to last 50-70 years. What happens to these bulbs (even never used bulbs) is that over time, they can develop cracks in the varnish (seal) on the back of the bulb. Once a crack develops, air can enter the bulb (which is under a sealed vacuum), and the filament will instantly burn out when power is applied.
Why do we sell our bulbs in complete sets (not individually)?
Our T-3® bulbs are manufactured to be about 25% brighter than the original bulbs. They do not project the typical dim, yellow cast as the original bulbs did; leading to difficult night time driving. For those of you who are concerned about having your car judged, the level of bulb “brightness” is not a judging criteria – but at least you’ll be able to see when you drive. If you were to replace only one bulb, you would instantly notice the difference in brightness when placed side-by-side to an old original bulb.

“Glo-Blo” Lighted Indicator Fuse Sets
These mini-size or regular-size blade fuses contain an innovative (red LED) fault indicator light. The indicator light is within the fuse housing. When the fuse is blown, this fuse glows, eliminating the guesswork and allowing for fast and easy location of the blown fuse. Lectric Limited’s Glo-Blo fuses are sold in 7-fuse sets containing one of (Orange-5A, Brown-7.5A, Red-10A, Blue-15A, Yellow-20A, Clear-25A, Green-30A).
How do they work? These fuses use a very low power small LED light that is connected across the fuse element in parallel. When the fuse opens (blows) due to over current or short circuit, this allows the current path to go through the small light, luminating it for fast & easy identification of the blown fuse. The reason the light is not always on, is due to the circuit being in parallel. Under normal operation, current passes through the fuse element, not the LED light. “Glo-Blo” fuses (also known as Smart-Glow or Blo-N-Glo fuses) will illuminate up to 2,000 hrs. until they are able to be replaced.
