Default Front Turn Signal Lights LED conversion

Hi I recently changed my '95's front turn signal lights to LED 'cause the yellow shade of the bulb is really annoying me on how it looks like when you're in front of the car, so here are some pics taken. It's really nice also 'cause it has a deeper amber color to it and the flash is more snappy.

On the vid yes, because the right side is the regular bulb on the left is the LED. I'm just showing the difference.

Well, I'm changing all of the bulbs to LED so I don't really see any use for it. I kinda want a lower wattage draw because not only our cars are of age now, and the wirings probably are a bit crispy by this time but regular bulbs and halogen bulbs create heat (which I was actually victimized while removing the bulb after testing it on that vid) that also make the head lamps housing yellow or build up soot (carbon). And like what I said, the flash is more snappy and it's got that deep amber color.

Then you need this for it to blink properly

Do you notice any diminished light output at all? Can't really judge by the video but they looked equal.
