LED signal and tail lamps
For those with the RE taillamp appique, these would be practial. For the rest of us, just expensive, but cool.

Thanks David for posting this. Ever since I installed HID's I've been wanting to upgrade my parking lights to something brighter than the "blue"bulbs.
Does anyone know what sizes the FD Parking wedge bulbs are?

The bulbs are also sometimes called W5W. I ordered two different types of white LED bulbs for my 99 lights from http://www.superbrightleds.com/1157.htm: a pair of the single LED bulbs, and a pair of the 4 LED bulbs. The single LED was way too dim. The 4 LED bulb was a bit too blue for me. I guess the choice is your's... either sort of blue, or ugly yellow.
Here's a very crude set of comparison pics: http://srdaugherty.home.insightbb.com/pics/

Looks pretty sweet, Scott!
I have one concern. Does the white LED replacement really have much of a blue tinge to it, or was that a camera artifact? The police don't like seeing blue lights on civillian cars...
