[s-cars] lights

[Dave Ellis]

Don't bother with LEDs in the corner and braking lights.  I've tried 
several different types and they all were terrible (brightness in some 
of the corner marker and brake lights were good, but dispersion was 
really bad - they tended only to be bright from a very narrow viewing 
angle).  The LEDs also played havac with the bulb check system.

I discussed these problems in retrofitting LED technology with Daniel 
Stern over a year ago, and he was able to solve my need for improved 
corner/brake/reverse lights by delivering uprated higher wattage bulbs 
for the S4.  The bulbs ended up being cheaper in some cases than the 
bulbs I could get from the local FLAPS, and made a big difference in 
brightness.  For reverse lights use halogen bulbs for more light.

My $0.02,
-Dave
