Like the Retrobright headlights, these aren't really Holley, but are actually Morimoto products.
1156 and 1157 are available in classic white, modern white, amber and red.
194 is available in classic white and modern white.
Most LED replacements for standard bulbs are either too bright or too dim. These are supposed to be significantly brighter than standard bulbs, but not TOO bright.

Reason: added picture
I havent gone crazy changing to LED bulbs. I've changed some.
On my 91 TA and 94 TA i replaced the headlamp bulbs with Hella Glass bulbs and Hella high wattage H4 HIDs. I have since switched to Auxito H4 LEDs. They're just the right amount of brightness, and have acceptable cut-off and scatter.
On the 94 TA I replaced the Fogs with Morimoto XBs from Screaming Chicken. I also replaced the rear lighting with Auxito. (I like the brand.)
I know this is Third Gen.....but on the 4th Gens you cannot put LEDs in the CHMSL. You'll get an ABS warning light and a hard pedal.
I'm not able to plug them into the taillights because I'm not at home, but I jumped them with a car battery. They function like they should and have nice intensities; bright enough without being too bright. I couldn't take pictures because both hands were holding wires. Trying to show illumination in pictures always looks weird anyway.
There's a very distinguishable difference between the tail mode and the brake/turn modes, which is a good thing. A lot of dual function LEDs show very little differences, making you wonder if the driver behind you will notice when you brake or signal. I see no worries with these.
These really are replica-style bulbs, as you can see, just LED, so if the odd styles and questionable fitment of a lot of LED designs have put people off, then these should satisfy. They'll fit right, and they'll perform more brightly, yet more efficiently than stock bulbs.
Their price is nice too. I contacted Headlight Revolution to get a clarification. "1x" usually means one bulb, so I wanted to make sure 1x meant one pair, not one bulb. Most high-quality dual function LEDs can go for $25-$40 per bulb, so I felt this begged clarifying. And 1x for $25 does mean one pair, which seems reasonable, IMO.
With the current rage against Holley for destroying Hooker Headers, and believe me, I know and understand because I'm the guy who brought their fiasco to light on TGO after they sold me a scrap product, which I returned, remember, these are NOT made by Holley. They're made by Morimoto, which is part of Headlight Revolution and The Retrofit Source. They're just branded "Holley." So if you're thinking, "I like these, but I refuse to patronize Holley," then just buy them from Headlight Revolution or The Retrofit Source, not from Holley.
Screw Holley and all their Lay-Offs!!!
Screw Big Business!
So many people are loosing their Jobs after being loyal long term Employees...
Just so Executive Officers can get Bonuses, and Share Holders get some scraps...
Support your local small Businesses and keep hard working people employed!

I'm one of those that has fought with poor fitting LED's. ....I've purchased these "retrobright" 194s and 1156's and 1157's with success. ....and they've actually been out for a few months now I think. I bought mine before Christmas.
We (Screaming Chicken) have the Holley Retrobright bulbs in stock, we have them available as a pair or as part of our combos. So far in testing they are not as bright as the Diode Dynamics bulbs but are also quite a bit cheaper so they seem like a great value at the price point. They look cool, just like old bulbs but led. We just got them in a couple of days ago but plan to show them in upcoming Youtube videos and also get some good pics in the future.
