is there any led kits that fit the stock tail lights

Ebay has all sorts of LED bulbs to replace the regular bulbs, but I'm not sure if they are worth it.

Also, when using LED's you may need to use an electronic flasher, since the regular flasher senses heat in the wires. LED's run cooler, so some regular flashers may not work.

I found a couple of LED bulbs at the local Advance Auto Parts, and picked them up because they were relatively cheap and because I felt like messing with something on the car. I like the way that LED's look on the newer cars, and I like the instantaneous on-off action they have.

I picked up this brand, which is a direct LED replacement for your normal bulbs.

Well... they suck. Despite what the "Super Bright" brand name would have you believe, they're actually about half as bright as a regular bulb, and you have to be directly behind to see them -- they don't send any light to the sides. So they barely illuminate the tail light assembly.

Getting a good, bright bulb would look a lot nicer than replacing the stock bulbs with LEDs. At least in my opinion.
