one of the lads was following me on the m/way and said the rear lights are crap,i currently have clear lens with red bulbs,so would leds improve visibility to others?

They were £15 a pop

Also got the LED reversing light which seems to put out quite a few more lumens that the original (helps seeing where stuff is in the dark obviously)

and the rear fog.

I think the same about some of them, but you can buy them so they're the same as original but led, which is what I'd go for.

Ah if they're the same size as the original than that's a completely different matter. Lol sorry I'm unable to open the link on my phone.

Normally these LEDs lamps are very similar to the NAS spec fog and revers lamps.

Yes, you can get NAS sized LEDs or standard sized ones. I got standard ones about a year ago and they've been great. People keep coming up to me and saying how much they like them. Mine came from Bolt On Bits near Bradford which seemed to be the best value at the time, but shop around as prices are changing all the time.

I got these: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=230833217737

Had to drill new holes and change wiring connectors to earlier style. Work great much brighter than old lights.

Yup, they've come down in price since I bought mine. If only I'd waited. If you're in the neighbourhood, Bolt on Bits's showroom is worth a look too. Lots of nifty gadgets. Perhaps not a good idea if you're prone to migraine or epilepsy though!
