[Mgs] LED BULBS FOR MGA

[Vance Navarrette]

	Has anyone tried these?

	These are much more reasonably priced, and have an
omni-directional array that *seems* like it would solve the
directionality and brightness issues. They fit the existing sockets.
Like all LED lights, you would need to use an electronic flasher rather
than a thermal flasher, but other than that, they seem like drop ins,
yes?

	But as to the legality question, well, you are on your own.

There are plug-in replacements, but as well as having a smaller
transmissive 
area (the reflector making the total transmissive area larger than just
the 
incandescent bulb, but not reflecting anything from the LED array) the 
problem with these is that they can be *too* bright.

It's an expensive (have you seen the price of that MGA/B array?)
solution 
looking for a problem, and in the UK at least it is illegal to retrofit
them 
for road use.
