I know our e60's don't come with the LED tail lights but has anyone tried using LED bulbs in place of the regular bulbs? like these LED bulbs
I know they draw a lower current so there may be a "light bulb out" warning light but i think there are kits where you can remedy that. Anyone have any experiences with these or have any opinions?

What's the big deal with LEDs?? Can someone post a pic of led tails and non-led taillights?

if you have ever seen the new caddy's they have LED tails, much much brighter than the regular bulbs.
