Anyone use the LED Taillight bulbs in a 2K3?

I am interested in purchasing some white LED taillight bulbs but I just wanted to make sure that they were going to be bright enough. Has anyone seen them on a 2K3? These aren't cheap lights so I just figured I would ask before I bought them.

That is what I need to know. I am sure that someone on here has actually had them on their car at some point.

Is there any reason why you want to use LED bulbs in the stock tails?

Yeah and I don't think LEDs would be good in the daytime.

I just thought that they would have kind of a cool effect in the tail lights. Nothing huge. Just wondered if anyone had ever used them.

im pretty sure Kloogy used them once in his talights but took them out because since LEDS use less power the car thinks a blub it burnt out so it just flashed really fast......hopefully he will come in here and clear it up for you

I don't know which brand is the brightest or would have the coolest effect. Just figured they would look cool if they were bright enough...
