I guess I am a bit late on this one. I tried something similar on my 90 SSE and I could barely see a difference. We didn't bother changing the other side since the first one did nothing.

I know I'm a little late on this, but just wanted to say that it DOES seem like false advertising to me. 50 times brighter? I think not.

Well, Haro, thanks for being the guinea pig for the rest of us.

It should be required that they disclose if it'* real advertising or Ricertising.

being the LED god you are Haro, I"m surprised you didn't think about that route.. check these out:
http://www.hid-lights.com/
click on the link for "miniature LED lights."

this rora has all LED lighting in the rear. I like the look. You also don't have to worry about LED"* getting to hot either.

you are VERY wrong on that. Not to make you feel bad, but higher power LEDs have HUGE heat dissipation issues.
