Because those type of bulbs are concentrated on one spot, and LED's are infamous for their small lighting angle, so out of the whole turn signal strip, only one spot will light up. However, if you get an LED light bar, you can light up the whole panel with a nice, crisp shine.

I've been thinking about this idea for quite some time now, but now that the new Kia Amanti has incorporated the LED strip into the front turn signals, I'm not so sure if I want to go through with the idea anymore.

I agree. I never would have guessed that to be a Kia.
I still like the LED turn signals.

Isn't anyone interested in installing the LED bar? It's only $15.99! (I'm waiting for someone to try it before I do it!) LOL.

For $16, I think you should go ahead and try it. If it turns out great, you've gotten what you want and may spawn a number of followers. If not, you are out a night at the movies.

LOL.. The thing is, I'll need some type of connectors to correctly connect this thing to my car's wiring. I'm not sure I know how to do that. Maybe someone with some electrical/car background can help us?
