Generally, yes....but there are a lot of LED bulbs out there that will only last a couple of months due to cheap/shoddy quality.

I changed my rear lights, ie signal and backup, tail and all that to LEDs, here's some advice:

BackUp Light- Don't do it, its actually dimmer, but a sharper color, but not as bright as stock.
Rear Sidemarker (The ones on the rear side that come on when you turn on nighttime lights)- Not a huge improvement, just a sharper color, almost the same brightness.
Rear Stop Light- Pretty dangerous to do, not as bright as stock bulbs, sharper red color, but not as bright.
Tail Light- Not a huge improvement, just a sharper color, almost the same brightness.

Interior dome lights and map lights- Great improvement, pretty much all the change in interior lights have a benefit, except for dash lights and instruament cluster lights.
