LED bulbs any good?

Has anyone tried the new LED bulbs that are out? I was looking at getting some for my rear blinkers. Ever since I cleared my tails the light does not penetrate the light cover as good as it did with the stock tails. I thought the brighter LED bulbs might help. Also, will the bulbs make my car think the bulb is out? Thanks.

I got leds in the rear turn signals. It's still dim during the day and it will cause it to blink hella fast.

But was there any improvement in brightness over the stock bulbs? I saw online where you can buy resistors to stop the super fast flashing.

i tried them in my tails and to me they werent as bright and didnt light up as much of the lens as normal bulbs, however the light it put out was a much deeper red, if that makes any sense to you.
