Hey Phill and All,
I am thinking of changing all the rear lights to LEDs
too... but Phill, I would like to know your thoughts
on this before I invest so much (for me it is!) on my
D... How does the LED lights' light spread compare
with the filament bulbs? Coz I don't want my rear
lights look like spots of lights....
Have you got any photos of the rear LED lights in
action??
Cheers,
John Tien
