The land of USA-made Subies!
So, I realized I lost the running/brake light on one side of my "new" Impreza, and I felt like doing something new. I haven't used LED tail bulbs before, and I had some Amazon credit so I figured what the hey. I got the 7443 and 7440 since I figured I'd replace the reverse lights as well since the tint is pretty dark. I'm pretty pleased with how bright they are... MUCH brighter than stock and have a hefty aluminum heatsink built in. I give 2 thumbs up and am going to replace the turn and inner running lights as well next week.

Driver taillight is LED, passenger is halogen in daytime pics, then the rear shot is the same for the backup lights. Nighttime shot is all 4 LEDs in, inner red lights still halogen.

You just been pimped!
Nice car. Going to replace my front lights with smoked ones. Found a factory Honda Civic spoiler too at collegehillhonda I want to add. Think you should add a Cusco or Tanabe strut tower bars.
 
I put LED headlights in my Suburban...love them i can see now at night! however when on i cannot listen to the radio.. i can hear the ballasts in the headlights i think coming thru the radio... not a big deal not sure what causes that.

No/poor interference suppression. They are using a switching power supply to convert the 12V to whatever voltage the LED is expecting and you are hearing the rapid switching.
Post what brand it is so we know to avoid them. Its totally possible to get the noise level down to levels that wont affect your AM/FM reception.
Heres a strobe LED Ive tested showing the effect on a 2 way radio, just becuase I had the video handy.
