Dale,

The replacement bulbs are okay, but the problem is that the OEM lenses are fluted to disperse the incandesant light and the LED's do not shine through them as well. I replaced all of the rear running, turn and stop lights last year with LED bulbs and they work fine, but they are not as bright as sealed LED housings. I replaced the lights on my 92 Angola with a new LED stack from IBP back in 2005. Those lights would blind you at night. I have looked all over for a plug and play replacement for the Bosch taillights used on the XLs (after 1990) and XLIIs (up until 2006 or so) but havent been able to find one. I have talked with several converters and IBP. The replacement bulbs are the best alternative so far.
