Ah, was not aware they were making retrofit LEDs! Will look next time I'm in 
a parts store for LED tag lights. Unlikely to have the lensing problem you 
noted with tail lights so the longer life (and gradual failure if the 
individual LEDs do not fail at the same time) would make this an ideal 
application. 

Anyone who drives an older car at night will know why this is important:)
