Darn junk

[Boomer]

Just replaced my rear bulbs again. Originals and this is the third replacement at 47k. Does anyone know where I can get heavy duty bulbs? This is driving me nuts, and being it is 12 degrees outside with windchills about zero, the rear hatch must be open and therefore cannot do this inside my garage, so the cold is making this even worse. Heavy duty bulbs??? Please let me know. 07 EL Limited.

i guess i was lucky got my cheap leds at pepboys. but look online. i haven't bought any online yet so dont know who is good, maybe others will have better places to try. hope this helps. but the LEDs are more expensive then regular bulbs.

u will also need these because the LEDs dont draw enough power making your vehicle think the bulb is out

I am using the v-LEDs reverse lights for close to a year now with no issues. Wish I would have gone brighter, but appears to be a good product. They are also very helpful on the phone. Hope this helps, Mike.
