Default LED Replacements on the rear

I've been thinking about replacing all the bulbs on the rear of my car with LED bulbs. I'm not replacing the tail light housings just the bulbs. If I do it I'm going to do all of the bulbs so it'll all be the same and look even. Any ideas on how this would look or opinions? I think it would look pretty nice but I just want some opinions on it

I also want to do this someday, but most bulbs makes the tails look cheesy if the brightness for both functions isn't right(especially when the sun is out and you can barely tell if your brakes are on). The best LED bulbs on the market right now thats high quality, reliable and extremely bright are the Triton V3's. But I don't think anyone wants to pay over 400 $$ for 4 bulbs for the 2GS! If I had the money, I would get those along with the front and rear amber signals. But good luck findings those LED bulbs, I'm sure someone knows a good brand. I might build my own bulbs with Luxeon Rebels .

I have LED's in the trunk lid brake lights to avoid the pink look, one of these days I will put new lenses in, but for now LED's do it for me.

For me it has to look close to stock looking lighting.

I would just buy some after market ones to put it but I just havent found one where I like the pattern or layout of the LED's in the housing. I might just do it then take the bulbs back if I dont like them
