Yeah, I thought of that, but Youtube makes grainy videos, so I would like to see a before/after from within that "medium" of reality. But your right, it's not fair to ask Neil to do extra work.

Actually, I might have a bulb I can swap in myself. My front yellow running light/turn signals (that I didn't change to LED) might be the same type as my red LED running light/brake light. If they are, I can swap-'em and see for myself. But me too lazy to find out right now.

Here's another silly question from an electronics-impaired fellow like myself. If an LED driver side light and an incandescent passenger side light are on the same circuit, is it possible for the indandescent light to draw more amps *through* the LED and damage it? That thought occurred to me when I was thinking about comparing light intensity.
