As per the title I decided I'd try and see what the difference was between the stock globes and LED's and as it turns out it's rather chalk and cheese...

This will hopefully make the ass end a bit more noticeable especially in poor visibility conditions.
Also while I'm here, (as a PSA) after installing both LED's, neither of them worked...great :disapp:
Turns out they're polarity sensitive and that I'd installed them both incorrectly and after turning them both 180° they were both good to go...phew :head_knock:
Forgot to add that I've got reversing light replacements on the way as well, which should make a difference for reversing camera picture quality in low light situations.

Yes, nice thing about Light Emitting DIODES is that they naturally conduct in only one direction, so putting them in the wrong way just makes them block flow, not blow up. :lol:

And for that I'm truly grateful! :P

Classic Car LED's have just released their new indicator bulbs as well if you'd like a nice upgrade to them, as long as your bulbs are the BAU15S type :undecided: :link: 1 x Canbus BRIGHT AMBER LED INDICATOR BULB No Hyperflash BAU15S PY21W ?
