Dale,
 
Nice write-up and pictures.  From their website, it looks like you can tell that there is an LED array when the lights are lit, but from your pictures it looks just like the regular bulb.  So, when you look at your car with the LED array, can you tell? 
 
The pictures didn't do the installation justice but I wasn't about to reinstall the bulbs for a fairer test :*).  The LEDs are brighter and give a ~fuller~ light as opposed to the ~single spot~ of the bulb.  I've been told they are easier to see when being followed in the rain as well.  Not being in the trailing car however, I can't vouch for it, just what I was told. 
 
If I were to install these, it would be a lot more expensive than the $90!  Since you have to remove the housing and loosen the bumper, it would make sense to replace the nasty looking parts.  First, I would need new bezels ($150), then my lenses would look like crap ($40), and I would need gaskets ($9).  Assuming I could stop there, I would end up with almost $300 just to replace $1 in light bulbs! 
 
Isn't that the way it always happens? LOL! 
 
But I do see the need for these.  Before I had my car painted, people would complain and tell me how dim my brake lights were.  I tried the brighter bulbs, but they did not last long and were a pain to replace every few months.  So, I added a 3rd brake light in the molding above the rear window.  I'll have to take a picture of this to better explain, but it is not at all apparent that the LED bar is there until I step on the brakes.  The shop also fixed up the reflectors and now I have great visibility. 
 
I've had a third brake light for some time. Originally I had a $19.95 special from AutoZone.  When I had the interior done a couple of years ago, I had an LED unit installed in the console unit that goes up and over the package tray.  I don't have any pictures of it specifically, but it's in the raised section of this photo - http://www.dalesplace.com/images/chevelle/backseat1.jpg
