Anyone ever tried LED bulbs in the rear lights?

Do they show up ok?

Cheers.

Ive never tried it myself and wouldnt try it :P
If the bulbs are non-error then it should be ok.
Any link to the auction ?

It's not that I'm worried about it not working, just curious if it looks ok when the bulbs are on.

You will not see the difference noticing them over a day, meaning shape of them etc.
I checked these LED rear light bulbs and they only use 1 Watt of energy, so comparing it to normal bulb's 21 Watts its not worth getting it. I would buy normal bulbs which are cheaper and light a lot brighter !
I experienced it myself when fitting LED light inside the boot. It was crap so I had to install normal bulb back, which was hugely brighter
