My experience!

Wife's '67 2+2 Jag........noteably dim in the rear.......was a worry to my 
wife, on the freeway at night..........so............

Added part# AUT1157-OER-014V......to the tail lights (exact replacement of a 
1157...price with p/h $102.01..for 2..from Netdisty,(The make all kinds of 
LED's, traffic lights, etc.......they gotta web site, but I can't find it at 
this moment) (Found them from Popular Mechanics....no problems with ordering, 
delivery, etc. ) 23105 Kashiwa Crt, Ste A, Torrance, Ca.....Phone 
310-326-5806..........and then in the back window I added a part # 07au6129u 
20 LED, Red from J. C. Whitney for $14.99 plus shipping........

Now her rear end is really, really red and bright..............Oh!......I 
could have said that wrong.........the rear end of her Jaguar is really, 
really red and bright..........

Seriously............those LED 1157 replacements are more than 2X brighter, 
though expensive..........and with the added strip of LED's above, the car  
is much more visiable ............and I think safer..............What's it 
gonna cost if someone slams into your rear end???

Advantage............they last longer than your car.........they turn on 0.6 
seconds quicker..........which is more than 45' at 60 mph.

When I get the money.........I'm gonna put them on the TR........though I 
don't drive it much at night..........
