I tried a set of cheapo LEDs on Ebay and resistors, and they were worlds better. The difference in brightness could be the difference between someone seeing your signal on a bright day, and someone catching it too late.
The LED ones I tried sucked compared to the Chrome ones I bought which are almost no different than the factory bulbs.

Too many damn variations in bulbs. Which did you buy?
