I like the energy savings but safety is my main concern. As others have stated reliability is much better with LEDs but another advantage is that LEDs come on instantly while standard bulbs take about a tenth of a second to warm up. That doesn't sound like much but at it works out to about 9 feet at 60mph and I am all for giving the guy behind me an extra 9 feet to stop with. If you have 3 or 4 vehicles in a line that can work out to some real distance in a panic stop situation. Next time you see a vehicle and trailer with LEDs on one and standard bulbs on the other watch the lights when they turn on their blinkers. The delay one the standard bulbs is surprising.
