Anyone have LED Bulbs???

Anyone ever swap out their stock Tail/Brake/Turn Signal bulbs and front Marker/Turn signal bulbs for those LED bulbs that fit the stock base? I even saw LED bulbs for the license plate lights.

Found a bunch from this place that seems to be an even swap...

www.superbrightleds.com

Ayone have an exprience doing this swap?

My tow truck has led turn signal bulbs. However it has a flasher relay for incandescent bulbs. This results in a quite rapid flash rate. One of these days I will replace the relay for one engineered for the LEDs. A LED retrofit is a good mod as the LEDs will last much longer and use a fraction of the power of the incandescent bulbs. The reduction of power consumption will be a plus should you ever need to use your emergency flashers on the side of the road. They will last much longer without draining the battery below starting power levels.

I put a set of these in mine. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/97-98...ht_3888wt_1167
They work great, and there was no change in the flash rate.

I'm replacing all my trucks halogen bulbs with LED bulbs with the exception of the headlights and fog lights, which I want to change to HID. I'm using this company for my bulbs. http://www.v-leds.com/

I tried a set of eclipse led bulbs in the tail lights of my 04. They were not as bright as they did not take advantage of the reflector. even looking straight at the light it was not as good as the factory setup. So I am still running the original setup...(returned the leds)
