LEDs are bright in a different way. They're not bright for being able to see, but they are bright enough to be seen aspect.

Let's put it this way, the stock halogen have more usable light output, where as the LED is just bright but doesn't really have usable light. LEDs are used for visual (not driving) purposes.

They also vary in quality and longevity unfortunately. Without standards or specs like output in lumens or something, it's been a trial and error process for me. You seem to get what you pay for IMO.

I bought a expensive 3 watt LED. Thats probably the most powerful LED I've found thats a OEM replacement type bulb... STILL SUCKS! Its roughly the same as the normal light, except its white so its a bit harder to see.

I'm really thinking of running caddy HID's for my reverse.
