Default LED Taillight Upgrade from Sewell?

What is the difference between these tails and the ones that come stock from the factory? Can't seem to notice any difference.

These are 100% OEM IS-F taillights guys. The taillight assemblies contain both LED lights and traditional filament bulbs (for the turn signals and backup lights).
