MG Midget and Sprite Technical - LED Replacement Light Bulbs

Anyone tried any of the LED replacement light bulbs for stop, turn, etc. that I now see for sale on e-bay?

I haven't tried this particular led bulb, but I have bought and used some from Autozone. It looked similar to the diagram you attaced. I found two concerns. 1) The base was barely long enough (the 19mm length in the diagram) With the standard bulb, the glass globe does not expand out as rapidly as the LED bulb. When I pushed the bulb in I had to force it in to be able to twist it to lock. 2) LED's are directional. When you are not directly behind the light is not as bright as a standard bulb.

On the plus side, when you step on the brakes, they light up quicker.
