I replaced the two side lights with LED's, and yes you get better 'look at me' illumination, it doesn't make any difference to how the road is illuminated though.

LEDs are still a developing product IMHO, and I went through a number of them before going back to normal bulbs. The problem I found was the thickness of the mounting plate on the LED, it's just not big enough for the Tenere bulb holders and becomes loose after time.

It may be that thee are better products on the market now, if you find them let us know.
