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.

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.
