    also, with regular bulbs up front and LED's in the rear signal, your blinker is gunna go spazzy faster.

    a trick i used back when i did alot of R/C drifting is that when my LED's are really directional, I would shave the top off of the LED to make it flat and spread out more.

    hey if anyone is looking for led solutions, i have found the best site that has everything youll need
    http://www.superbrightleds.com/

    and also my 2 cents, leds are safer, people tend to notice you faster, lest chance of being rear ended!:lol:
