Hi i have changed my stop&tail light bulbs and warning light bulbs to LED"s as they use less power and last a lot longer in use and are brighter as well they are also very cheap on fleabay so i think it is a change for the better hope this helps rick

I have them for indicators (hassle to fit) and stop lights (easy).

The biggest benefit in my opinion is the much longer life from leds.

Hi, what did you use for the indicators please? They flash fast without load resistors - how did you do this part?

I have LED stop/tail lights (bought them 10 years ago and still going strong!) - I used to have to replace the stop/tail bulbs fairly often when they blew which is a bit of a pain.
Plus the brake lights light up faster than a normal bulb.
