[Mgs] Led brake lights

[PaulHunt73]

Poor.

Less difference between stop and tail than with incandescents, flickering,
not as bright or with the same spread as incandescent.  With one set if the
tail lights were on the brake lights didn't work.  A second set didn't have
that problem but if you had a short that blew the green circuit fuse for the
stop lights it extinguished the tail lights even though they were fused
separately, and the other lights on that circuit were glowing.

I've also tried LED headlights and they were also poor.  Whiter to be sure,
but with no additional illumination that I could see, and a 'dead' area in
the middle of the pool of light.  Basically all they do is change the colour
temperature.  http://www.mgb-stuff.org.uk/headled.htm#1

Strictly speaking external LED lighting is not legal in the UK unless
E-marked (which none I've seen are), but more importantly checking with my
insurance company they would not accept them.

And don't get me started on LED indicators/turn signals ...
