LED bulb swap:
Pros:
- looks sharp
- faster full illumination response
Cons:
- lacks lumens
- sucks up your time

I have an all LED setup and they are definitely less bright that stock. I can't quantify how much "less," but LED turn signals, for example, are much harder to see than the normal incandescent bulbs. Especially during bright sunlight/daytime hours.
