LEDs are mostly used for two things: illumination and indication. These are technical words but are good to understand because if you want an LED for one thing and you buy the wrong thing you'll be pretty bummed. *Illuminationmeans to "shine light onto something" - like a flashlight or headlights. You want your headlights to be bright as heck.Brake lights should be bright enough to see, but don't need to light up the road! Indicationmean to "point something out" - like a turn signal or brake lights on a car. You don't want your car's turn signal to blind people! If you get the wrong type you could end up with a DIY flashlight that is dim, or a control panel that burns people's eyes! DiffusedLEDs:- are really good at indication, they look soft and uniform and you can see them well from any angle. ClearLEDs:- are really good at illumination, the light is direct and powerful - but you can't see them well from an angle because the light is only going forward. I hope u clear …!

In addition to the above answer they use far less power than a conventional incandescent bulb and last far longer. Ideally they could last the life of the vehicle.
