New LED Reverse Lights!

Just got my LED reverse lights and put em in today. I ordered them from *************************. If anyone is wondering the size, it is a 194 bulb in the Matrix style. (super white) $6.99 a piece. Well, here are some pix I took, enjoy.

Is it noticeably brighter when you backup now or is it just for looks?

Ya, it actually lights up alot more when I am backing up. I am also thinking of getting the amber LED turn signals, but those are going to mainly be for looks. LED's have about a 100k hour continous running time, so you theoretically never have to worry about them burning out. I think its a good idea to get LED's too, because I have a system in my trunk and it usually ends up breaking the filaments in the bulbs on my tail lights.

They make pretty much any LED bulb replacement you can think of. Yea, they make them for the little side markers and everything. The only size I can't find is the dome/map light with the sunroof package. I'll start trying different bulbs to see which ones fit. Sooner or later I'm going to have all my marker/turn/brake lights LED before I have my car in Hot Import Nights Cleveland.

just remember if you get a LED that is going where a blinker is, your blinkers will blink twice as fast..i think it's just because they draw less wattage or somethin then a normal bulb......

Ive come to realize that no matter how bright of reverse lights I put into my car I still cant see because I tinted the window down to 10% and street lights are scarce around here.


Reguardless, these look cool and and LED's tend to last forever.
