I would only suggest doing LED in reverse lights and turn signals, not the brake lights or running lights in the tail lights, unless you buy those specific p2 taillights.
Bummer...thats what I was afraid of with those LED bulbs in the taillights... Someone should create a LED bulb with glass around it to diffuse the light and make its output more consistent like a traditional filament bulb.

I wish the P2 LED taillights were full LED and not just the turn signals...

I'll be getting a test sample in my next shipment. Depending on how much customs takes out, I'm figuring pricing will be around $20ish a set. These are a lot more expensive than just the normal LEDs obviously. If these work well, I'll probably do a limited run on these just for kicks as there's not as much margin and since these are bigger, shipping costs are higher.

The side mirrors, at least the old-style mirrors, have a brighter and more intense yellow, white the front turn signal is more amber (golden yellow-orange).
I have seen bright yellow lights and it looks really sharp and clean.

I've already placed the order for my test shipment. Coming in with my next batch of LEDs. Hopefully should be here in a couple weeks, after which if they work out well, I'll probably host a group buy under my sponsored account to cut through the red tape.

white and red. Can get yellow if there's enough interest, but I plan on only carrying two colors.

i am also very interested in these. i'm pretty sure the bulbs are the same for both x and w 204. i'm pretty sure i'll need amber to match the mirror blinkers.
