Yes, very well worth it!
I guess my response was based on my experience with a 2- light BJ-8. It
sounds like you are describing the 4- light...
Either way, when I replaced all the bulbs in the turn signal and stop light
circuits (including the dash indicators) I did need the electronic flasher

BJ8s use a separate circuit for turn signals. I kept std.
incandescent bulbs in mine; I did put LEDs in the fascia (dash)
indicators; they bleed across a little, but it's worth it to
actually be able to see them.<br>
