Well - LED's light up faster than incandescent's that is the single best reason to use them. If that thing uses a CREE or one of the new 3W diodes - go for it.

Post pictures, I'm interested from a safety point of view. The way the car stops, I am going to get rear ended one of these days!

Just to be clear - they are not BRIGHTER, they react FASTER.

In fact, most LEDs installed in incdandescent fixtures are dimmer because their mounts and reflectors are not setup for such directional light.

I know the feeling, I always monitor who's behind me and of cause in front when breaking hard Usually if its Not an A hole following me trying to checkout the car out or troopers then you're ok Usually I'm ahead of traffic with no one left behind
