LED reverse bulbs ... not a huge gain

[Spindrifter]

So I replaced my regular bulbs (non LED) with these, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GGK6QDW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. I really thought these were going to make a huge difference, but I really can't tell much of a difference in my backup cam in the pitch black mornings. Much whiter lights and they light up signs and reflectors better, but the output is marginal at best. I'm sure the housing just isn't really designed for these type of bulbs. I might just have to add an extra light or 2... What have some of you done for reverse light setups?

So I went to your website to look at a few bulbs, including the fog lights. Your website states "Super Bright" but do not say, first if they are halogen, LED or HID and what lumen levels they are for comparison. Is there any way you can elaborate on this?

Didn’t get it. Please resend it thanks

Here is an option, ref reverse lights: Or you could go to rigid lights and get a couple of LED pods, mount and wire into 4 pin...

I have the Recon LED taillights that I replaced my non-LED stock ones with. Look amazing! They just don't come with Reverse LED bulbs...

Hey spind, I have MY 19 which has OEM LED Reverse, LMAO, not worth a dang. Maybe if I tape a flashlight to the tailgate see better. LOL

Why I am either going to buy a set of LED from Rigid or that whole bar from recon. Just got to get on other side of holidays.....

Super easy to wire up. Super easy to solder also.

Wow this is on another level......

Ok so for those of you looking to buy the Vanquish Reverse lights for more output two words “ do it “. I just got mine installed and they are a lot brighter then OEM and not to mention the color is awesome. Install took about 10 minutes most of it spent looking for a T25 bit lol. Excuse the dirty garage but I will get another pic tomorrow night on a pitch black street. The pics don’t do it justice. Now these are not the cheapest lights available but they are by far worth every penny. The quality is outstanding. Not just in these lights but I have purchased other vanquish auto lights before both led and HID and they just amaze me with their build quality.

Oh and no error messages my truck is a Longhorn so it has LED tails but the reverse light was a halogen before

Very happy with my GTRs

I put these in mine: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NPIYDWU Same brand as the ones you linked, but listed as much lower output (1200 lumen vs 2000). I saw a massive increase in light output compared to the stock halogens.

I went with these and are a big improvement over OEM.

I put these in based on the recommendation from a different thread and they've been amazing.

The only downside is the occasional 'light out' bulb warning. But that doesn't really bother me much. In my opinion they are probably twice as bright as the stock halogens I had in there. Works wonders when I'm loading the boat up at night.
