Installed LEDs, disappointed.
First off, they're dimmern (NOTE: whole lights are dimmer, NOT the bulbs obviously), since these replacement bulbs have 9-front facing LEDs and 6 side-facing LEDs. They should be ALL side / rear facing. I will have to install a small round mirror in front of each bulb to illuminate the rear cavity of the reflective material inside each plastic housing. PITA (pain in the ass).
Second, turn signal blinks like a raging bull that's been needled in the balls. WAAAAAAAY too fast. I'm guessing different resistance, and the computer thinks a bulb is out.
Bleh.
What we need is something smilar to what the G35, FX45 and TL have.
Suggestions?

the problem is that you are using LED 'bulbs'. they are junk. if you want real LED signals, you need to buy some bright LEDs and wire them up to a circuit board and do everything yourself.

Plus you already have the 15-LED bulbs which are supposed to be brighter than the 9-LED bulbs that some of the early people got.

One thing to keep in mind, the reverse lights look pretty sweet. I guess clear-lenses do the trick.
Will keep you updated.

Allright thanks for the warning!
I think we'll probably have to wait for a full-blown rear light replacement.
(The angel eyes on the other hand still look doable )
