What exactly do u mean? As long as they're brighter than stock. They can cause electrical problems, so that's why they sell Load resistor kits. I am tempted to try these LED bulbs, but I'm not sure how they will look.
I mean that they are not better than the the original incandescent lamps. They do NOT have more output, they are NOT a suitable replacemnt. Like i said before, please search this forum and you will find the discussions that we had before, and that should provide all the answers that you want.

All the guys that have done the full retrofit have gone this route...using pre-assembled 4" truck lamps.
You use what you can fit in the housing..
Other places to look are buytruckstuff.com and leetransport.com which is where i got mine from...just poke around on google, and you should find plenty of places selling the standard 4" lamps...there's all sorts of types with different patterns and looks, some use 5mm 2 prong LEDs some use superflux.
Since our car uses only one lamp as STT (stop/tail/turn) wiring becomes rather simple.
If you're leaving 2 incan. lamps in the car, swap the flasher relay rather than adding the load resistor kit thing...onece again, searching will reveal several disscussions we've had about the flasher relays recently.
Hope that helps.
