I bought some LED 1157s for AHX12 after other competitors complained
that they could not see the turn signals in bright sunlight.
My experience was that the standard LED ones are no brighter, if as
bright, as a standard 1157.

Hi Alan,
I've been interested in LED's for awhile now. I've seen them for $45 US
thinking "OK I've got to do 1,2,3..8 bulbs." Ouch.. A friend emailed me
this web address where the LEDs to replace 1157s are $7-$10 US. I think
the time has come to get some. www.superbrightleds.com
Best,
