Personally, I think they are really worth it for the price and make quite a difference if you notice the little things. I upgraded to LED bulbs for mainly two reasons, one to get rid of the amber bulb reflection in the front, and the second one to give the car a more modern look when the brakes or turn signals are on.
The turn signals on the mirrors are LEDS so I wanted to keep the other turn signals consistent throughout the car. The instant on/off of the LEDs looks much better than the incandescents. Also the rear brake and turn signals are brighter than standard now. |

I originally used white for the rear turn signals but even shining through the red cover it still looks off and isn't as bright. |

you should ask the dealership not to drill holes in front bumper.
you can get plate holder screw it on bumper, (designated hole to pull the car) |

I did. I will buy the millwork tow hook plate holder once the car is near the end of production. I also have the swift motorsport non-motorized hideaway plate sitting inside the closet.
