Default Led Tails?

Has anyone replaced their stock bulbs with LED's? Any advice? Any pics?

Thanks!

There's not much different IMO between a LED light bulb and a regular bulb as the housing isn't designed for a LED bulb. It's like putting HIDS/Xenons into a housing not built for it.

In the end, it'll work and function like a regular bulb with you replacing it less frequently.

Thanks TYMSMNY - I have the clear housing on top (turn signal) which looks like it would look nice with an LED turn signal, but I think I'll hold off on any rear mods!

^ the thing is that it's not exactly LED turn signals. You'll get LED bulbs but it won't be like the ones you see from manufacturers (like the 4runners).
