LED Tail Light/Turn Signal Bulbs?

Hey everyone, has anyone attempted to replace the tail lamp bulbs or turn signal bulbs with LED retrofits?

I am interested in these for the tail lights: http://www.amazon.com/Philips-1156-X...ords=py21w+led

and also these for the turn signals: http://www.powerbulbs.com/us/product/xtreme-vision-py21

I have the lighting package on the car so the headlights are great, but I prefer LED bulbs to replace the older generation bulbs.

Does anyone have experience with this or attempted this before? Is this not a good idea?

I am assuming I will need one of these as well: http://www.amazon.com/Philips-Vision...0_SR160%2C160_

Any assistance would be appreciated! I do not have my car yet so I can't test. It is about to get on a boat. Thanks!

I am still pretty curious about the Philips bulbs.
