Highlights
Quality
Very happy with the purchase and they are probably even brighter than the tubes they replaced
These are a positivenegative tube unlike the old fluorescent tubes that came with the fixture

Competitiveness
They arrived earlier than promised and were wellpackaged
Items met my expectations were easy to install arived on time as promised
Color i got was definitely not a white white like claimed but more a softwhite of 3200k

Installation required 1 verifying that the fixture was a 12v 2 removing the fixture 3 bypassingremoving the ballast 4 rewiring the fixture to provide power directly to the sockets and 5 reinstalling the fixture and installing the led tube lamps in it

There are better ones on youtube but to make use of those you need to know that this tube lamp contains its own led driver so no external driver is necessary
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
You have to bypass and or remove the ballast which takes about 15 minutes the 1st time but 5 minutes after you get the hang of it
