I have but the bulbs I used weren't very bright so they still pretty much look the same. I also changed my brake lights and they seem to be a bit brighter.

I made a thread on this before too, Kohinoor replied with his 97 tails with LED strips and boards. If it's done, its not easy. You need to know how to splice all these wires to make it work and know soldering and such.

I switched all of mine out to LED's, bought them from superbrightleds. The turn signals do hyperblink, I'm looking to upgrading to a digital flasher like KingPhilip did, so they don't do that.

IMO, it's not worth it to replace the park lights into LEDs since it has a double diffuser, it's not gonna make a difference and it would be spotty. However, I'd recommend doing the brake lights, turn signals and reverse lights since it only have a single diffuser. It'd look brighter for the reverse since its transparent, it'll also be brighter for the brake lights, and the signal lights will be snappier when blinking. Browse through my old threads so you can see the difference of a regular filament bulbs and LED for the signal lights.

Only bulbs I would suggest changing out that look good are the front parking light to a 6k LED. And the reverse bulbs to white LEDs. Those both actually look good and are brighter.
