At 80mph (I can't remember the numbers exactly), but LED's provide a .8 second driver reaction time over standard filament bulbs do to the quickness of LED's. Infinity claimed that years ago when I was looking at the QX56 and asked about the benefits of them.
If you drive a vehicle around with LED tail lights and notice in the back how fast they go on, you realize how great they are. I didn't get it until I drove a new Lexus.
I've ordered LED tail lights for many vehicles, I love the look and the benefits of LEDs.
Those don't look bad...although I'm confused as to why they have a chromed section on the liftgate portion of the housing, as it looks like there isn't a place for an incandescent bulb for the reverse lights, just the white LEDs on the sides. Looks a little goofy IMO, they should have put white LEDs in both sections or made the lense red on the liftgate portion. It's like there's a section there that isn't being used for anything.
I've had good experiences with my LED knockoffs, but YMMV.
As an aside, does anyone know if the OEM LED tails from the 06/07 cruisers will fit on an older model? I'm sure they are expensive as all h3ll, but OEM would be the way to go for quality.
the reverse LED's look kinda cheesy? the red portion looks great but the reverse part looks pretty lame and in one of the pix it looks like the hole for the regular style oem bulb is still visible? just my .02. otherwise they are pretty cool looking...
Wouldn't it be easier to just get a good set of LED replacement bulbs for the stock housings. I know alot of the LED bulbs are junk, but there is bound to be atleast one good one out there. The Putco Nova is tempting w/ lifetime warranty, but i havent been able to find any reviews on them.
Seems like it would be cheaper, easier, and you keep OEM quality.
I added two obnoxiously bright LED lights to the back of my truck for faster warning/warning when my bikes are on the back. They definitely keep people off my bumper.

Anyone found quality aftermarket tail light housings with LEDs? I put LED in the factory housing, but my housing are leaking, faded and cracked and I'd like to replace them and the 06-07 factory LED tail light set is too expensive.
I'm all for LED bulbs for the reasons mentioned above, but on disadvantage comes to mind for those of us that live up north (in my case Alberta). The LEDs don't warm up so the snow tends to build up on them, decreasing your visibility. I minor consideration for most, but worth mentioning.
