I bought my LED light kit from John Taphorn in May of 2011, and I have 
been very pleased with it. It's one of the best upgrades I've made to my 
Pantera after installing a modern fuse block. I don't have any problems 
with the lights being clearly visible in broad daylight, but then 
perhaps my kit is new enough to be of one of the later generations.

I also replaced all of my inside indicator bulbs with LEDs, except the 
alternator charging indicator (I was too lazy to figure out how to set 
up the correct resistance for that to read properly with an LED bulb). 
They are *much* brighter than the incandescent bulbs I replaced. For me, 
the big advantage to LED bulbs is that I won't have to replace them in 
my lifetime. As far as I was able to figure out, the front turn signal 
indicators require the removal of the wheel to gain access. I'll be 
happy not to have to do that again.

Best Regards,
