Default LED exterior lights. Get the good ones at good prices here->

You'll need bulbs and load equalizers, but unlike past LED lights, the wide angle ones are visible from a 100 degree range, not 30 degree and this guy is very nice to deal with and his prices are better than anyone...

Default Here are a couple photos -

In these pics, the brake and tail lights are replacement LEDs, the Fog light and 3rd brake light bulbs are OEM.

The LED's aren't quite as bright as the OEM as they don't take full advantage of the reflector design, but they're much better (with the 100 degree LED's) than the old style 30 degree LED's. It is a huge improvement, and they are sufficiently bright.

Sorry no sunshine photos yet.

Default I'm guessing yours were the 30 degree variety? The 100 degree LEDs are

a large improvement, as they make much more use of the reflector and lense, though still not as well as a filament bulb can.

They will soon, though. The 100 degree bulbs are definitely acceptable, though.
