LEDs are going to be ok. theyve been around for a while. people use them even today. and unless youre trying to buy taillights made from a blind guy w/o arms or legs, i wouldnt worry about it.

and to answer the guy who originally posted the first time, LEDs arent bad at all, as long as the ones youre trying to buy arent tacky.
