LED's
To switch out my old TT tailights to LED's, I assume I would have to get a new socket. Correct ?

Yeah , I don't get it eitherWhat is the major advantage to LED's for the taillights and the running lights? I understand the desire to change out the interior lights, due to energy savings, but energy is no problem for taillights and running lights.
I could see several advantages.
1. Less draw from lights = more charging from TV battery to camper battery
2. Better longevity. Bulb sockets, connections, etc can get troublesome when vehicles sit idle for long periods.
3. Updated looks. Got an older camper but don't want it to look too dated? LEDs are an inexpensive update.
Safety. I read an analysis once where they measured the light up time between LED and incandescent. The LED was faster by microseconds which represented a good number of feet at 70 mph. Could be the difference between getting rear ended or not.
