LED indicator bulbs

Post by Caesium » Mon Jul 22, 2013 2:07 pm

Anyone replaced their standard incandescent bulbs with LED ones with a modicum of success?

What do you think about the brake lights, are they bright enough?

What brand did you use for the halo bulbs? Interesting to see what ones can dissipate the heat properly. That's my first mod. The cream halos look so daft next to the xenons.
