When I changed my headlights from halogen to LED, I also changed my brake
lights, rear tail lights and front parking lights.
The brake lights and front parking lights are now much brighter than before
and the brake lights now are "instant on" rather than the short delay with
an incandescent bulb.
This is important for increasing the reaction time of the driver,
tailgating you to see what year "Lamborghini" you are driving.......

The biggest gain came from replacing the license plate lamps which are
probably covered in black goo from your exhaust......the LEDs are like
night and day.
I found all of the LED bulbs by cross referencing an LED replacement bulb
with the type of incandescent bulb already in the Pantera......it wasn't
hard.
I left the rear indicator bulbs as incandescent as changing to LED would
necessitate a change to the existing flasher as the LEDs will not draw
enough current to make the flasher work properly.
