I've gota set of Eagle Eye LED tail lights but for some reason all of the bulbs are LED's except for the white backup/reverse light. I've heard some people tell me that the LED's are not bright enough, while others say the LED's are too directional and don't allow you to see much around you other than straight back while other people have told me that they work just fine.

Has anyone in here replaced their bulbs with LED's? If so which ones did you get (seems like there's quite a few variations from the regular LEDs to the SMT ones etc.). If you have a recommendation or experience with any of them let me know.

Cheers,
Matt

LEDs

I got a pair from Lethal Performance. They would NOT work in my '06 GT. Has something to do with the smart box. Lethal Performance was a stand up company and they gave me a full refund, including shipping.
