I have done the same, I also replaced the bulb in the trunk to an LED bulb. I replaced the turn signals as well, which does mean installing a resistor for each bulb. It is not hard to do at all if you know basic electrical stuff.
Quick video of how they turned out here.
EDIT: Since making this video I have changed the connectors that I used to splice the wires together. I have actually soldered the resistors to the wires then heat shrink over that.
Yes, it does have the new car on/off crispness. As for electrical issues, I have had none so far and I am sure as long as they are installed correctly they will be just fine.
I am planning on going full LED (fog lights, tail lights, etc.) soon once I get the time and collect the parts.
