Must have missed that one.
I've been trying out LEDs for a while. They are really hit and miss and are changing all the time.
I've always avoided the cheap and unbranded ones, as you can almost guarantee how good they will be.
I also don't see much point in upgrading tail lights and indicators, as there's no gains to be had - there's nothing gained by emitting more light, and to be Canbus friendly, they use a resistor which doesn't save on power consumption.
Having said that, my centre brake lights do have wedge type red LEDs, as with the tinted rear glass I have the light from the incandescent globes was being dimmed. To my pleasant surprise the LEDs resulted in an almost perfect luminescence match to the main brake lights. Result!
