For an example of what the LED lights look like on the tail, take a look here:

Honda Insight Tail Extension Project - Page 28 - Fuel Economy, Hypermiling, EcoModding News and Forum - EcoModder.com

Scroll down through the various pictures to see the lights.

Not sure why the lights work well after reading JoeCVT's comments about how the car is wired, but everything seems fine.

I like the fast response time of the LED's and they are much more energy efficient.

Jim.

I'm currently upgrading my Prius to all LEDs and I want to do the same with the Insight while I'm buying them. If there is no issues with the Insight I think I will upgrade it all around.

Try starting back here.

Just noticed that 2000 Insights aren't listed, but 2001 were.

LED brake lights will work, I have them, they work great and the regen works like it always did.

Brake LED How To

I also upgraded all the rest of the lights to LED too with the exception of the headlights. I used the bulb finder at superbrightleds.com

LED bulb finder

They don't have 2000 listed for the insight, I used 2001 and got all the right bulbs.

I also outlined what is needed for making the LED blinkers work.

Turn Signal How To
