No. One of the things people always comment on is my glass tail lenses with tungsten filament bulbs behind them. The appearance can't be replicated with LEDs; from what I have seen it's not even close.

That is not to say I disagree with prioritizing safety. I knew that the single 6v running/brake light on the barn door was a guaranteed collision-maker, so I converted it to 12V, swapped all the single-pole sockets for dual-pole, and used a motorcycle trailer lighting module to make the turn signal pods into running/brake lights as well. I stuck "extra bright" #1157 bulbs in all three sockets, and to my amazement nothing blew up.

You can see my tail lights in the "Cold start challenge" video listed at the link in my signature. Show me an LED that looks that nice, I'll reconsider my position.
