I put some in my 65 mustang and then took them right back out. They didn't put out much light unless you were right behind the car and at the same level as the light, then they were really bright, but from the side or above, they were pretty dim. They might work pretty good in a pickup where the light housing is up in the line of sight. I'm going to try them in my 72 F-250 4x4 as soon as I get a chance.

I saw them on Trucks tv too, looks cool. Also, pee on the cops. If they have nothing better to do than to write someone up, (in a classic truck) for having too bright of taillights when there are stupid ricers with blue and red neons under, inside, and outside their car then somethings really WRONG.

Do a search on "LED tailights" on the internet and you'll find lots of info. The older LED's had a problem with poor visibility at angles but the new ones are much better. As for being illegal I think that is changing to. Most big rigs, buses and construction equipment are going to LED's because of their low power consumption, waterproof and extreme durability. I like them and I'm building a set of custom signal lights and a custom rear light for my old Kawasaki KZ1000. I'm also going to be installing LED map lights and courtesy lights in my Ford. I'll go custom for those to. They do have direct LED replacement bulbs for standard auto applications. I don't know if that's what willowbilly3 was talking about or not.
