[Taillight] Bulb light to LED light, possible?

Right now as most Fits have a bulb light, saw one on youtube that had LED taillights, and i just fancy them. Is it possible to convert/change them from bulb to LED?

Search "7440 LED" on ebay. 7440 is the bulb size. Almost all sizes of bulb have LED version.

*pay attention to the length of the LED bulb. Some of them are too long for the fit taillight.

And that's why they make wide-angle LEDs

Tail Light Brake Light Turn Signal LED Bulbs

The silver car has the LED taillight assembly. You need to buy the JDM OEM, depo or N1 taillight.

I think the max length is like 6cm. Not really sure. You can put your finger in the taillight and measure it.

Depo are $120. Ebay got some cheap one like $80 but I don't know how good they are.

Go with the wide-angle high-powered units. You don't need a lot of LEDs, just one or two or three 1-3W LEDs. ^_^
