We noticed at Le Mans that Charlie McCall's Pantera has a slight electrical 
'leak' that causes the brake lights to glow ever so slightly when the car is 
shut off.   As the LEDs don't draw much power even when fully lit, it doesn't 
seem to impact the battery, but it does certainly look a little strange.

My impression of the LEDs is that they are brighter, but the overall light 
output is smaller because they are directional and don't take advantage of the 
reflector in the lens housing.   So when standing up close to the car, the 
lights appear brighter, but when viewed from far away (i.e. in a car following 
from a distance) the lights are smaller and thus more difficult to see.

Gr4 lights with stock bulbs put out much more light than the standard Pantera 
taillights IMHO.
