I'm confused by all the options out there. I would like to order from Comet, but the website is somewhat overwhelming for a noobie to LEDs. I just purchased an X-Files and it is very dim with several lights out. I would like to convert to LEDs.

I have the non-ghosting vs. regular choice down.

When do people choose frosted over non frosted? When would you choose a flat head vs. a rounded dome? When would you chose a faceted look vs. smooth?

What are the options with SMD and when would you get one vs. two?

Also, someone told me that I may want to just continue using incandescent flashers since they last longer. They said if you use LED flashers, you have to cut a resistor. Is that right?

Sorry for all the questions. If there is a guide that discusses all of this, that would be great. Thanks!

Just went searching and found this after I posted:

So, do you prefer frosted or clear?

I got frosted for the inserts on my X Files and worried that they might be too dim. I was wrong. They are bright and clear. Have no worries.
