Default LED light bulbs

Does anyone know how well the LED replacement bulbs that are available for the tail lights and side markers work? I searched and saw the interior ones work well, but saw nothing for the exterior ones like tail lamps and side marker light bulbs.

I have not swapped out the bulbs for the taillights or side markers yet but have done the back up and all interior and they are awesome.
I got mine at www.superbrightleds.com Excellent prices and large selection.

Don't know about the bulbs only, but here's a link for a thread for the entire tail light assembly LED replacement.: https://montecarloforum.com/forum/ge...-lights-54819/

Sounds like they're pretty good.

Thanks for the feedback guys, I'm looking into them some more and it looks like they need a resistor and maybe a diode wired in with the possibility of needing a new flasher if they flash really fast. Good thing I'm decent with electronics.

From what I've been reading people say to go with the red ones for tail lights because the bright white look orange through the lens.

I'll do my homework (after finals) and get back to you.

Has anyone replaced stock bulbs to Led??? Example back up lights and the license plate bulbs. If you did any problems? If also no problems which brand led did you use?
Thank you friends
