the problem with those led bulbs, though, is that they just face straight back..... they dont shoot light back into the reflective area of your inner taillights, so all you see are little bright circles in the middle of the areas that are supposed to light up..... as opposed to the whole area lighting up.....

I've seen a few L E D bulbs with side facing l e ds as well, they seem to light the lense up a little better. try ebay thats where I saw them.

I've got those matrix bulbs on the back of mine and while they do look better than the standard 18 led ones they don't hold a candle to the light dispursion(sp?) of a regular incandescent bulb... To really match the light pattern you'd need a whole board of leds like some of the newer caddys and bmw's.
