I was terribly disappointed with the LED lights I got for my Rambler, two different brands, going up quite a bit in cost after the first ones, they were hardly any better.

I ended up making reflectors and using the good old 1157 bulbs, they worked MUCH better with the reflectors than those damn LEDs.

Here is an article on the retrofitting reflectors. http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/basi...ng-212015.html
