You guys also need to remember that the light housing in newer cars that have standard LED setups are transparent, meaning they are colored but you can see through them to a degree. Older cars have plastic light housings that are not as transparent, therefore LEDs won't look the same on them. If you want a true LED look, you need light housings that are transparent. So, to me, it doesn't make much sense to switch to LED bulbs without first switching to a more transparent light housing. Other than faster lighting times when you hit the brakes or turn on the flashers, the look won't be that much different. That's just my two cents.
