Maybe later down the line. But I'd have to find out what's in my 3rd brake light. It would be embarassing if my tails lit faster than it. I do LOVE the tradeoff of LEDs. [/align]

i got LED reverse lights, and led parking lights on my 3.
i tihnk the parking lights cost me about $28 each, and the reverse lights were $20 each.
but they were so worth it, and all you do is remove the halogen bulb, and insert the led one, and your done!
no rewiring at all.
and ~$60 isnt that bad at all. also, led's are brighter, and of course, they turn on and off faster too.
the one thing i like about em, is that they instantly go on.
think of it this way. when you signal, the light quickly turns on, then off. but you can see it fad on and off.
with led's, its just on and off.

I may keep the turn signals though, just because I like that fading effect when it comes to turn signals.

Kind of agree w/you there 87. I was behind a BMW a coupla' weeks ago that had LED turns and I wasn't impressed one way or the other.I could take or leave them.

BTW:I wouldn't be surprised if your "3rd" had a 194 or 2 (or equivalent) in it.

oh ya, copied and pasted from another forum. I know the rule on how to post up pics, I just keep forgetting. I kinda hate that about this site. the interface is different than EVERY OTHER FORUM ON THE INTERNET....... Heh, what do you think of the pics though? [/align]
