Replaced mine with el-cheapo leds.  Look really good at night as they are a different colour to the +100's in my headlights.  First pic shows difference between standard and led.





Super bright LED's makes the most sense to me.  I just haven't had a chance to research them.  Where did you get them?

Yeah, source please?

Most of the LED's just don't put out much light, as has been discussed on here in the past.

Well it may be a bit of a trip for ya: Supercheap, Palmerston North, New Zealand...

Just look for ones with decent wattage - I think those are 3w from memory.  Could try here: http://www.dealextreme.com/c/car-led-light-bulbs-712

I don't know about him, but I researched every amber "super bright" omnidirectional LED bulb I could find that would fit in the City Lights, and none of them were as bright as incandescent.  I was very, VERY disappointed.  And that disappointment was only surpassed by my disappointment with "super bright" amber bulbs for the turn signals, that were nowhere near as bright as incandescents, either.

Perhaps "white" ones are brighter, but with my amber experience, I am skeptical now.
