LED reverse light bulbs.

[alaskanexpy]

bunch of guys on another forum have been raving about these bulbs. i've put it off forever but finally caved and bought 2 sets. one for my expedition and one for my excursion. they seem very bright in sunlight..i wont be able to check night time output for a few months...damn midnight sun!

Just installed a set of cree led rev lamps in ours

One is a little brighter so they are sending another. We swapped out a set of the visionx 360 multi leds we weren't happy with the output. These suckers throw some light

Those look sweet. I have been looking for a way to increase reverse light output for backing up to trailers, etc. You find those online?

I ordered 2 off of amazon. Will be here in time for the weekend.

The optics in the tail lights make it difficult to get good output on the ground from stock or LEDs.

The Cree projector ones are bright to look at if you're within the beam. At least ones posted have the smaller 360 LEDs to provide fill. Mine was just an aluminum body all the way down.

i tried them in the garage and i was pleasantly surprised. they do put off more light then stock bulbs.

on my excursion..but same thing.

I got these, but got the ones for the tail and not the backup. They don't blink with the turn signal. Is there a way to make them work or am I stuck with them?

I picked up a set today for my reverse lights. Hopefully they'll brighten up the back area for me.

Wow.. It's now on my list also.. Its like comparing chocolate and shi*

How many sets of contacts did they have?

Do they come on when stepping on the brakes? When having your running/headlights on?

 

[The Stinker]

Yea they turn on with the headlights not sure about the breaks. I don't think so though. I know they don't blink. I did order some 7w projector type LEDs that should fit my 921 back up bulbs. I think I'm just going to send these back to Amazon.

 

[ELVATO]

Yea, it sounds like you got the single filament equivalents. The dual filament equivalents will dim the LED when in running light mode, and run full brightness when brakes (or turn signals) are engaged.

If they were sold by Amazon, they shouldn't give you too much trouble.

 

[The Stinker]

Yea since it was my dumb butt for ordering the wrong thing it's gonna cost me 5$ but that's what I get. No biggie.

I love mine.

I have my 3156 led bulbs installed last week. The only problem I've had was them falling out of the socket a couple times. I just put a small dab of silicone on them and problem solved. They are bright, and look cool
