I'd honestly be very careful of the cheaper LEDs. They're prone to failure and in a critical situation such as a tail light you'd want them to be reliable.

We got CREE LED tail light globes which cost nigh on $50 each but I have found them to be reliable now working after 2 years still. They are very bright with a massive heat sink but no pretty pattern .

Yep, I've run them in the 204 since I built it. Look great with the clear lenses, you'll have to post up pics of them when they arrive.

Yes was thinking this aswell but coming from Jme who has fitted these i feel i may go ahead and give them a shot as he has nothing but quility on his car and no problems yet so that good enough for me to try them out.

will def post pics before after shots etc etc

Did you get a photo of these in action?

Also anyone know what LED bulb to put in for the number plate light, think there are two of them required.
