To be honest, I'll be buying them shortly.

Okay. I read on alighting forum that the motion to 1156/1157 is not that good. The Phillips got good comments. As I was looking I found Sylvania zevo which is sold at AutoZone. I picked up a set today.
They are NOT plug and play. The socket has to be clearanced for them (like most LEDs). Then I found due to the design of our lights the are clocked 90degs off. I modified one bulb and will complete it and clearance the socket for it to fit. I like this design as the LEDs point at the reflectors (once I finish modding them)

Below is a picture of the ZEVO on the left, the tower on the right. The ZEVO uses the reflector ( Keep in mind I had to mod them 90degs to get the LEDs ( to align with the reflector)
Here is a modded socket, Worked great..
Edit: I might use these for my front 1157s..

If GC says they aren't good for the reverse lights, I won't. But I'll use them for the front sidemarkers.

I used the Sylvania ZEVO 7506 1156 equivalent bulbs from oReilly's.
The edge of the socket needs to be modded slightly to clear the corner of the new LED bulbs.
I've posted photos of the bulbs and the car with them installed/illuminated are posted over in WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR C4 TODAY dated 20 July 2016.

I found these bulbs today. I am curious if they would be noticeably brighter or not.
