The LED's may be brighter if you use the wide angle ones, otherwise they won't hit the reflectors, and you will just have a bright spot in your lens.

LED's will light up faster also.

But in a housing designed for incandesent bulbs, LED's can be less effective.

That is why most LED tails, etc. are made up of multiple LED's

Superbrights high powered 1-3W bulbs will be brighter. The 921 reverse bulbs will not be. They do throw off a true white instead of the incandescent yellow. That's what I like about them.
