Classic Replacing dual filament incandescent bulbs with LED. Sensible?

Will do, but I'll wait for a day when it's not rainy. The other lights in the cluster seem perfectly bright enough, so maybe a switch to Osram bulbs for the tail / brake lights will help

I was not impressed with the silver bulb / pink light from the LR specification tail lights on my L322 SC so wanted to improve them but couldn’t use LED’s because of error messages from monitoring. Ended up putting Red coloured Osram bulbs for tail, brake & fog with Amber coloured bulbs for indicators. Gives a much clearer bright colour through the clear lens without errors.
If you put any with LED bulbs in your lamps the colour output will be pink through the red lens. I tried to up-grade the high brake light on our Citroen with the same result so ended up installing a complete LED lamp instead.
It’s possible that the outside surface of the red lens could need renovating if faded. Just a thought.
