We replaced our tails with LED's almost 3 years ago (2009) from Zomkspeed and they are still fully functional - $159 back then! Here's a thread with various photos of smoked and clears, installation was very easy!

Just ordered my set from "zsracing" but they have a Zomkspeed pic on the website! The lights are on sale for the next 11 hours at 179 shipped! And I have silver bulbs on the way for the turns and silver ultra white bulbs for the reverse! Looking forward to doing the install on these!

I have had my 4.6is for 9 months and since day one I cannot decide to stay stock, or order LED and if LED crystal/red or smoke/red or all smoke. The only reason why I would stay stock is the LED red is a little darker and the stock red matches imola red perfect and I'm thinking a shade of darker red will not look right so for past fee weeks I have been debating the all smoke which oldly I used to HATE and think it made the car cheap. Please HELP and give 2 cents

Go all LED. I think the 18 LED bulbs lighting up looks more updated than just switching out the bulbs. Besides, I don't think you benefit at all by changing to LED bulbs that are hidden/diffused behind red reflector anyway; sort of a waste of money.

^^ what about switching the bulbs out with LED equivalents? You may need resistors/caps to make it work correctly though.
