Has anyone swapped out rear turn signals with LEDs?

I think these look pretty interesting http://v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/Parki...35733-1-2.html .Has anyone done something like this? Are they bright as he!!? Waste of time?

Thanks

I changed the back-up lights, but not the rear turns. I am not sure what the original OP is asking since I see no pictures or link. I am confused.

What bulbs did you use for the back-up lights Hamster? Are they all for appearance, or do they actualy light up the road more? If I did the reverse light I'd be looking for something similar to what Cadillac uses.

OK. Now I see the link.

As for rear turnsignals, I did not see any advantage to changing to LED since they are in the overall red rear lens.

As for the back-up lights, the details are in My Garage including where I got them. I would say they are about the same or little less bright than OEM incadesent bulb. With tint, can't see anything behind me anyway. So basically I just put them in because they look cool to others and they are whiter. One of my early mods.

Thanks for the reply Hamster. I have been thinking about reverse lights, but I haven't gotten to it. If I do it I want to go for something that is way bright tho and that I can see a difference.
