Decided to change to LED brakelights
After reading about and seeing other folks' pictures of how much brighter they are, I thought I'd go ahead and make the change - and WOW, I am impressed. Definitely brighter - the pictures don't do them justice.
Here's Before and After pictures (I made sure to use the same exposure settings on each, so they should be fairly comparable - except for the unfortunate fact that the sun moved a bit during the time it took me to get them installed)
Edit: I also noticed that the current draw went down to nearly zero, compared to the incandescents - I've got mixed feelings about that - awhile back, my brakeswitch wasn't working - I only noticed this because one day I saw that the ammeter wasn't going negative with the brakes applied. Now, if I end up in a similar situation, I may not have the ammeter as an indicator that the brake lights are actually turning on.
