I bough a pair of led reverse lights, did some research and based on reviews the921-CREE-SIDE-2X T15 CREE Reverse from Retro Solutions looked good. Put them in tonight and after doing a side by side comparison of the stock, very dissapointed. Based on the picture I'd say the OEM ones are brighter. Someone have a suggestion on a different brand for more brightness?

I know, I originally looked at the ones you got but have had great luck with SuperBrightLEDs. I ran the reverse in my 2013 till the day I traded it in and never had issues. I now have a new set in my 2014. If I drive at night tonight i'll try and take a pic with my back up camera. Looking out of my back window it lights up my street pretty good.

Do you have the LED taillights already or do you have the non LED type?

I'm interested in this too. What color of light did you get? "Cool", "Natural", or "Warm"? I'm thinking "Cool" or "Natural", but not sure. Also, I'm guessing for the reverse lights, these are just plug & play?

Sorry for the questions... I'm still new to the Ram. On another similar note, I'd eventually like to change out my interior lights & tag light to LED. Any recommendations on those?

I'm not sure if you will know this or not, but will they work on the LED tail lights?

I'm not 100% but they should work. I didn't do much research but I think (think) the reverse bulbs are the same.

I ordered them in Cool White as it's the brightest. For the tag lights order these

https://www.superbrightleds.com/mor...-led-bulb-1-top-smd-led-wedge-base/1100/2607/

I got these in warm white. I previously ordered them in Cool White and didn't like the reflection it created on my tail gate at night.

Also here is the interior LED kit i'm running

Amazon.com: iJDMTOY Premium SMD LED Lights Interior Package Combo for 2009-2013 Dodge RAM 1500, Xenon White: Automotive

and I bought 2 sets of these one for my foot well led's in the front and then 1 set for the high mount bed light in the third brake light

That interior kit looks like it would blind you if you had to turn on one of those lights while driving at night

are you sure the LEDs are facing the right way? I have the Cree LEDs and they are way brighter than OEM. The LEds should face outward.

Here is my Cree's http://www.ramforum.com/f41/another_led_mod-25081/

Yep both were installed outward. Based on my backup camera they weren't any brighter, almost dimmer than OEM. I'm going to try the super bright LED bulbs like the other guy suggested and post comparison pics when they arrive

The camera adjusts for lighting I think so not sure how added lighting will help. I have the mygig and I can see the difference. Although I don't have the lines on my radio.

I got them hoping it would light up more so I could see more in the backup camera.
