Re: LED "bulbs" for Spider tail lights

[Joe Elliott <jee@domain.elided>]

Paul Witek makes some good points about LED taillight bulbs.  My 
experiments with LED 1156/1157 substitutes from AutoZone about a year 
ago proved that yes, directionality and low output are problems. 
Those units cost a few dollars apiece.

However, nothing on the shelf at AutoZone is actually designed to 
work.  If you want to bring the benefits of LED lighting to your 
aging Alfa you can get high-quality "bulbs" designed for that 
purpose.  For example, http://netdisty.net/ds/aut1157/.  ( 
http://netdisty.net/ds/AUT1157RI may be be more appropriate for some 
Alfas.)  IIRC, these cost about $40 each, but they address all of 
Paul's concerns.
