[DML] LEDs ... in tail lights?

["daviddlasvegas" <daviddlasvegas@xxxxxxxxx>]

Not speaking of putting LEDs in the door lights and panel lights, has 
anyone had luck replacing tail lights and front turn signal/parking 
lights with LEDs?

The problem I see is that the housings on the larger lights are made 
to reflect light from 360 degrees (a regular light bulb). An LED 
shoots light straight forward.  So if you put an LED in place of a 
round bulb in your tail light housing, I think you'd just see a small 
bright dot instead of the housing filling with light.

Any thoughts?
