Installed LED Tail lights

I found some LED tail lights I found on Amazon. They got decent reviews and didn't look too 'ricey' ... amazon prime 1 click ordering was too tempting.. so I ordered 'em.


These are the ones I got:
IPCW LEDT-502CR Ruby Red LED Tail Lamp - Pair : Amazon.com : Automotive


Here's a video of the old vs the new:

Here are some pics:








I like them a lot - they make the van look a bit more modern.

LED taillights on a dinosaur do "look a little more modern" but these days I like the look of $200 in hand a lot more.

has anyone tried those headlight combos listed?
We have the composite lights on our '03, and I sure would like some more light.
i tried the SuperBright LED 9007 bulbs, but the light pattern was not good IMHO, I took them back out and went to the Philips Xtreme vision, but not really pleased...

I got an H4 set up on ebay for around 60 bucks including harness and relays
I like it for a few of reasons.
It's easy to do, puts out great light and uses the same bulbs as my vettes and GSXR.
I can run anything from the 55/65 watt units to 100/130 watt one.
I have white, yellow and blue options too.
if you need more info, just ask and I'll find the links

I'd like to check out the links if you can find them without too much effort
Is the light pattern good with the "stock" lenses?
I've have the Euro-style H4 lights in my Tiger (non-DOT 7" round sealed beam "replacements") since the mid-80s, have been very happy with those.
Thanks
