Yep I tried to change out my Tail lamps in my 99'V6 with some LED replacements I got on Ebay..I wouldnt suggest it! The first thing you will notice is the Brake Light Warning will go on unless you do some mod which requires putting a resistor somewhere in the circuit to trick it (since there are no filaments in the LEDs) The brightness is certainly NOT as bright during the day! I got "bumped" from behind after stopping kinda short, there was no damage, but I have to wonder if the guy didnt see the brake lights..after that I switched back to the good old light bulbs.
I did find that the LED replacement bulbs for the front side blinkers worked out just fine, but really if its working..why bother?
Best of luck!
