Default 3157 led light bulbs

Anyone have any experience with 3157 led light bulbs for the reverse lights. Been looking at JDM and seem to be somewhat good. Any other brands

For multiple vehicles I have used VLEDs. They are a little more than a lot of people but they work very well. LED world is a bit questionable; so many cheap quality companies out there that look nice but don't have good output.

I am running them in my jeep for over a month and they are a lot brighter than the stock.

I just installed some on Friday. They are called Genssi CREE white 3156. I got them from Amazon, the price isn't the cheapest. They look nice, but the build quality is typical Chinese stuff.

The light output is great, but much of the light is wasted as you really only need the leds on the end with the projector lens. Overall i am happy with my purchase as the results from stock to these are amazing.

Here are some pictures, dont mind the mess in the Garage haven't had time to clean it out so I can park in it.

These were taken at night no lights on with my jeep parked just at the entrance of the garage.
