I can't view the link right now, but I can say that a lot of the LED replacement bulbs are way too dim and aren't any brighter than the bulbs they're replacing. The best are the ones where there is a board of lights meant to fit in a specific light.

I purchased a set of these for the front
...pic...

Have not used them yet but did test them and they are bright.

for the rears I'm using the 45 LED lenses and they are great.

the price is not to bad on those Amazon bulbs, If you get them let us know how they work out.

In order to achieve maximum led output you would install an amber led light behind an amber lens. Red behind red. Been there done that.

I know there may be some disagreement but I respect everyone's God given right to be wrong.

If they're the style I think they are, you may need to modify the housing to make them fit. Seems that they will not go deep enough into the socket, as the led housing contacts the lamp base. Easy alteration if you're handy with a Dremel tool.
