After seeing how they looked and asking Chris (Geevis) where he got his, I picked some up and finally put them in! I only have day pics now, but Ill take one tonight! I def like how they look, although I am not sure if they are "brighter"!

Did you have to wire in a resistor on these? I have the LED tails.

I got my LED reverse bulbs in the mail over the weekend... put them both in and only the driver's side lit up. Thought maybe I got a bad bulb so I switched their places and still only the driver's side lit up. Leaving the LED in the driver's side, I put the incandescent bulb in the passenger side and it lit up. So the passenger side isn't liking the LED reverse bulb, and I put the incandescent back for the time being.

I did however get the license plate LED's installed and they work fine.

The LEDs are cool but i'm more interested in the snow Im seeing, and the fact that its June. Did you do this a while ago and forget to tell us? lol

Obviously an older thread. Say from maybe 6 months ago? ;)

Any update on how well these perform? How well is the area behind them lighted? Usually LEDs dont project as far as reg lights.

I found a set of H3/H4 style reverse bulbs at auto zone for $15. I bought them and wow they are bright. But i have never been able to find them again.

Its an old thread copied over! No resistor is needed!

They work pretty good...No complaints from me!

Hmmm... I am going to throw my stock tail lights in today and see if the LED reverse lights work that way. Maybe I'll need a resistor if I'm trying to run the LED tail lights (the ebay ones) plus LED reverse lights.

You should only need resistors if its a flashing bulb right? Because they draw less. I think thats why he did not need resistors for these.

So I put my stockers back on tonight since I'm sending off my LED tails to get tinted, and the LED reverse lights work on both side with the stock lights - so it seems that something is getting weird when trying to run the LED reverse lights with the LED tails.

I'm also interested in LED reverse lights. I just want something brighter than stock bulbs, is a simple swap to LED seems the way to go?

Hello have you got the led reverse to work in the led tailights? I got a set of led tailights ebay ones I put in my high haloagen back up bulb in the led tailgiht and they did not work so i put back the stock ones in and worked fine. I like to put led reverse in.
