Whoa, this topic died a while ago. I'm wanting to put some LED's in to replace my tail/brake bulbs. Does anyone know how bright the original bulbs are? I wanna get something that's neither too dim nor overkillingy bright compared to the original brightness. Found some LED's that are supposedly 270 lumen:

Has anyone put in Led to replace original bulbs before?

They do look pretty good, I must admit
What are you using for your tail and tail/break lights??

I got THESE EXACT ones, and they fit perfectly into the parking light housing, the length is just right.

Do park lights also have a legal lighting like headlights max 4200k etc?

I believe limit would be the same as for the main lights. Honestly if you're choosing between 5000k and 6000k, the difference isn't so apparent unless you've got the two lights right next to each other. I'd say you're safe with 6000k, if a blue-ish glow is what you're aiming to go for. As long as it looks more white than blue you'll be ok.

I'm also juggling between the phillips blue ultra's or the crystal. the blues are 4000k and the crystal are 4300k so I'm not too sure which one i'll go for :/
Prob just the blue ultra's so i know there will be no hassle with the police =)

Well, i've got the Blue Vision 4000K and it's not very blue lol It's white with just a hint of xenon. 4300K will be perfectly safe =]

4300k is the Standard colour range on OEM HIDs
