LED Conversions?
I've posted a few pics of my LED taillights. One picture is with the taillights
off, one with all four taillights, and one with a close-up of a single
taillight. These photo's show the regular taillight only, not with the brakes
applies. With the brakes applied, they get extremely bright. I'm thrilled the
previous owner put these on so I didn't have to do it myself.

comparison with the light output of the original taillights and these LED's.
When I drive at night I feel very safe and it's good to know everyone can see me
for miles!
