LED lamps cost a LOT more and I mean really a lot then talkiong abotu
replevements for Incansescent bulbs. One example is the 1157 Automobile
Bulb LED replacement. It goes at $19.95
A Edison Screw Base bulb equal to a 30~35 Watt bulb is $36.95
I couldn't is a quick search find any Higher Watage bulbs.


And there is stil some prolbem with the coloring of the light output. It
is a harsh color and some just don't like it. I feel the same way about
the CFL's myself.
