[Mgs] FW: Led brake lights

[dave]

so sad that your experience with LED's has been so negative.  You just
didn't use the right brand.  www.litezupp.com has LEDs that just screw into
your existing sockets and work a treat.  Yes, if you install blinkers you
have to put in a digital blinker control, as the LED doesn't create the
resistance that creates the heat that allows a mechanical/analog blinker
control to function.  But if you do it right, you get bright, clear brake,
backup lights, and blinkers.  The Litezupp headlights are incredibly bright.
I have full LED setups on numerous cars and don't regret it a minute.  SO
MUCH BETTER

Poor.

Less difference between stop and tail than with incandescents, flickering,
not as bright or with the same spread as incandescent.  With one set if the
tail lights were on the brake lights didn't work.  A second set didn't have
that problem but if you had a short that blew the green circuit fuse for the
stop lights it extinguished the tail lights even though they were fused
separately, and the other lights on that circuit were glowing.

I've also tried LED headlights and they were also poor.  Whiter to be sure,
but with no additional illumination that I could see, and a 'dead' area in
the middle of the pool of light.  Basically all they do is change the colour
temperature.  http://www.mgb-stuff.org.uk/headled.htm#1

Strictly speaking external LED lighting is not legal in the UK unless
E-marked (which none I've seen are), but more importantly checking with my
insurance company they would not accept them.

And don't get me started on LED indicators/turn signals ...
