my dad has them on his chevy truck and there realy nice. a bit pricy only bad thign is that the flaster dosnt like it. must be due to the lack of load vs/ incodesent bulbs. flasher flases a touch faster than it should. nothing major.

They're decent, the problem is they only output light directly back, so the reflector is useless and all of the light doesn't get lit usually.  It also depends on how the specific light is setup.  There are some better ones that use radial mounted LED's as well.  OR we could build you some cool shit.

you should check the pages - they have wide angle and radially mounted bulb models, plus turn signal resistor kits and relays.

but really, LEDs on a Wabbit?   :tool:

Yea, I was noticing those, it looks like I could have everything to do it for pretty reasonable.

the low power makes it think it has a burnt out bulb so i blinks faster, the signal kits should prevent that.

i think leds on a rabbit make sense, the leds are more visable and get your attention because they are instant on/off. this is good for safety, especially on older cars with outdated lighting.

They would also be a good choice for rough driving conditions--aka a rally car. No little fragile filament to break.
