LED Lights

So now that we're into winter, I'm driving with my lights on pretty much my entire commute.

I'm looking into getting some LED bulbs, but I'm trying to debate the cost of purchasing them....I see rear bulbs ranging from $8-$30 dollars, not to mention the special flashers to use LEDs at the proper blink rate. I'm looking at easily breaking $100 to save 100W's. I'm just not sure its worth it.

I thought about maybe building sets of them, but for the time spend doing so and hacking apart a extra set of headlights, the cost is going to be the same ($$$).

I was just wondering if a few other eco-modders can chime in on their experiences. Please include what bulbs you replaced, where you got them, approx. costs, and any +/- feedback about the bulbs.
