Styling Angel eyes or led rear tail lights for our panda?
I certainly hope not.
Might be interesting if someone can do them tastefully, but taste doesn't often seem to feature in aftermarket lights.
..thinking of those awful Punto ones with the sticky out light elements... (shudders...)

Please, do not tune the Panda 100 HP.
Hang on, all you people against LED tail lights. WHY?
LED light's can look identicle to normal rear lights if done properly
I mean there are load's of car's now on the market with rear LED lights. LED's are the future! What you don't want are those Lexus/silver rear LED unit's like these chav's have on their Saxo's, 206's and Clio's

The LED units fitted to cars as standard usually look good, but I'm against aftermarket units through bitter experience. Aftermarket lights usually look utter, utter cack, styled by blind men and bought by people with single figure IQs.

The thing is though if you can put LEDs in that look just like the standard lights, why bother putting LED's in at all? I mean replacement bulbs aren't expensive are they?

Last longer/are brighter/can be used in different ways or different applications/use less power.
I'd never retro fit them to a car but I reckon they look alright on some of the newer models coming on the market.
One word - SAFETY
They are unlikly to fail and respond about 100 time quicker than a filament bulb, which at 70MPH improves the stopping distance of the car behind you by 3-7 Meters, which is a fair distance!
They're also more visable to those behind in adverse wether conditions
(also use less power, which is a slight boom to saving battery if lights left on, and saving minimal MPG

I'm inclined to disagree!
Have you followed a new Passat with led lights.
The tail light is so bright (daylight) you can fail to see the when brake light comes on! It's happened to me on a couple of occassions, i think they are damned dangerous!

I can't say it has ever happened to me.

Okay I agree they should last forever, but I can realistically expect my bulbs to probably last me for the time I have the car. And yes they do respond quicker. However with regard to battery life and mpg I think you may have overstated the advantages a tad!
The energy saving thing - if you have a lower consumption LED and want your on-dash bulb failure lamp to work you need to use ballast resistors to bring the current back up to that of a standard filament bulb.
