Gen 2 Altezza Owners, Q about bulbs

I was wondering if I could put those Led 1156's in our tails instead of regular bulbs. I was just going to use a red 1156 to mach the inner red but saw these new led stlye. My concern is that they wont fit into the openings? anyone try this or has done this? thanks.

Yap. I got red LED turn signal bulbs from Pep Boys. The regular bulbs just dont look right. They will most likely make your signals blink faster though but not AS fast as those 7X blinkers........

I have led turn signals in mine, and during the day they're pretty hard to see light up. Like he said though, it looks badass at night. If you're really being crazy about how the lights look, you might want to get white leds for the backup lights too..because the led bulb housing reflects diff. off the interior of the gen2 light than does a regular bulb. it makes it look darker. if you don't understand what i mean.. you'll see

This LED mod sounds dangerous for day driving.
