Are you sure there are replacement types that are approved? In Europe they
would be 'E' marked.

To be honest Dave, I'm not certain. I'm sure I have seen them on websites
where they claim to match the specs for brightness etc, so I've always
assumed that any that are deliberately manufactured as 'replacements', would
similarly match. However, I accept what you say, and they might not all be.
Are the likes of Lucas or Delco or whoever making these things yet ? I guess
that would be the best guarantee of compliance. In any event, I should think
that ones made for the job, are likely to be better in terms of brightness
and viewing angle, than something that you would cobble together yourself ??

FWIW, I don't actually like the latest generation of cars that are fitted
with LED tail and brake lights. They are invariably pulse driven, and when
your eyes do a 'flick', the pulsed LEDs leave a trail of 'dots' of light
across your vision. Most off-putting when driving at night. The roadworks
cone lamps are similarly pulsed. and create the same effect.
