Yup

gotta be careful not to buy utter junk, ebay is full of LED junk..... i paid £14 to £18 a pair after spending £3 on ebay and not being impressed. worth it just for the switching functionality in the 2 filament 1157 style for indicator/sidelight which is useful here in UK.

really need the ones with the deep light dispersion lenses in. 1/4 inch deep dome, a convex on out side and flat on the back... get a bit of refraction going on
and on a car with lamps that need to be seen from side and front (modern mainly, few have totally flat or recessed lenses these days ), the positioning of the collection of LEDs in the unit and the unit length is important, stuff that caused no worries with a bulb needs to be considerd.

if you don't care about resto standards any ageing housing that housed a bulb for a coloured lamp. can be greatly improved for bulb or LED use, by painting the interior white. this casues enhanced glow across the full lens, in the specified colour, rather than making the intensity of a central beam of light stronger which is more like what you get with a silvered reflector in a head lamp. it just scatters the light better than the untreated pot metal surface of some of the units, and gives a more uniform look to the lens when light is off on a sunny day

not for everyone but not a waste of time either.

Just received and installed these 1157 red LED:
Amazon product ASIN B08H8M8LB4In side-side comparison, they are brighter than the filament 1157 and the lens looks redder and more uniform. With a white LED or filament bulb, the lens appears a bit yellowish and dull. I ordered a similar red 1156 LED so the running lights in the trunk hood match since they now look poor with a filament bulb. It seems the end LED's with projector lens helps a lot, with many small LED's around the circumference to give uniform lighting. I didn't paint the interior housing white, and don't need to with these bulbs. I just hope they meet the claimed 30K hr life. I tried an 1156 LED over a decade ago in my M-B which looked nice with a funky finned heat sink and it failed in 2 sec.

I also ordered an "LED flasher". It states "motorcycles", but "should work" since similar-looking ones state for cars too. Picked that one because you can adjust the flashing rate.
