Problem with LED 'bulbs' is that whatever colour you got for they are usually dulled by the tail lamp due to the narrow colour spectrum of an LED. I have white ones as brake lights in the BMW and they are no brighter than normal bulbs. Red can be better on red, but still a bit hit and miss.

I've used ones from www.classiccarleds.co.ukGreat bulbs and advice/service - drop them an email with what you want and they'll recommend something suitable.. Given up on cheap ebay ones, they just don't last or not as bright as promised. |

Same as ChrisT. A few other companies do decent LEDs too. Like Rich, I found the cheaper ones didn't work as well as expected and gave a dull light due to the way LEDs work. Having an item where the LEDs point in all directions goes a long way here. Naturally, so does the price. |

To be fair mine weren't cheap, just the wrong colour spectrum really for their intended purpose. They are multi-directional CREE with a projector lens on the end array but they still aren't 'bright' when fitted. Dazzling when they aren't fitted. |

For the indicator bulbs on the back of the granny I got some amber ones from Amazon, seem plenty bright enough when fitted behind the red tinted lens as well   |
