Ever try these? (LED Replacement bulds)

I really want to trade out the boring old Incadecent bulds for LEDs.
I was wondering if anyone has had any experiance with this type of replacement?

http://autolumination.com/1156_1157.htm

Any good/Bad information to pass along?
I may decide not to go this route depending on what people say.


Please post up
Thanks

The LED lights don't really show up in the areas 'around' the light. They are brightest facing straight out. Also, in the daytime, the lights don't look very bright.

I had some before...

ive tried led bulbs from jamstrait.com and autolumination.com, jamstrait brand being an unquestionable winner. they are way brighter; the leds are arranged in a way that no matter from what angle you're looking they all emit light evenly and smoothly. no 'dark spots'. the autolumination brand i found of lesser quality with lesser quality leds. they are dimmer and emit light enevenly. i have gen2 altezzas and plugged one of each bulbs in each blinker. the difference between the two was instantenous. i wish i had i digicamera to show you exactly what i mean. i tried autolumination bulbs to see if they are better that the ones i already had from jamstrait, they are not.

now, the only problem i have using led bulbs is that they do not work in my front blinkers. no power at all. i have tested this in my friend's maxima and found the same thing. i have not yet tried load equalizers, but will soon. i wanted to have led bulbs in both front and back blinkers, but for an unknown reason they fail to light up when plugged into the front. i have started a thread on this earlier but it was quickly dismissed and abandoned. i am curious to know if anyone here, at the .org, has tried led bulbs in their front blinkers and what their circumstances/results were.

i did everythng in my car form bulb to led. it was a apin in the *** bt it was much brighter and livlier. That way it last longer and it is cooler. it took along time but all worth it. check the faq's for directions on how to do different things.,

Thanks for the reply 100shot
By the way you www link doesn't work for me

One question for you, did you just plug and play the rear indicator LEDs? ( I assume so, because you said youhave not worked with Load equalizers before, correct )

Here is another supplier I found out there, they seem to be high quality as well.

http://stores.ebay.com/Velocity-leds
The look t be better quality than autolumination
