Has anyone upgraded their taillights to LED's?

Last night he posted at FABO about how simply painting the insides of the taillight housings a FLAT white allows for great improvements in brightness even for standard incandescent bulbs.
I might try this.

Not a bad idea whether your using LED or stock bulbs.

I put them in the tail lights on my 71.

Buddy, those look great! I tried installing LED tailights on my GTX but was having issues so I went back to standard.

What issue were you having?

If I recall, they did not work consistently. It was really cold when I tried to replace to LED's and I didn't have a chance to troubleshoot the tail light harness.

I want to use LED bulbs all around as well. Did you use an LED flasher as well?

It was a while ago but I don't think I did which could be the reason they didn't work consistently.

Karl, you must use an LED flasher with the LED bulbs.
Here is the one I used.

I bought two of them, one for the turn signals and the other for the 4 ways.
