Couldn't take my stock reverse lights anymore. Couldn't see anything! However I didn't want to spend money on duallys either. I saw a post on here where people were paying 50-80 bucks for led replacement bulbs. C'mon now. I know less are great and all but 80 bucks for LEDs the size of my thumb?! Nope not for me. So I went on amazon and found these 3157 bulbs by JDM alstar for $16. Spent ten minutes putting them in last night and WHOA! Night and day difference The middle pic: LEDs on the left. Stock on the right.

I went the same route but with a different brand from amazon and they work great. Huge improvement over the stock lights.
Edit: I got the Aaron high power white 80W from Amazon.

Thanks for posting the pics. I was looking at those the other day on Amazon.
I don't think it's accurate to call the stock bulbs reverse lights. They are more like reverse candles.

I don't know where the old thread is now but these were recommended by a guy on here a while back. I thought "why not" and gave them a shot.
BOOM I highly recommend these. 2X 3157 3156 White CREE Q5 12 5050 SMD LED Backup Light Bulbs Projector Lens | eBay
These things really light it up.
I have to back up a steep hill in the dark to get in my garage and I need all the light I can get.
Looked into some aftermarket LED cubes but really did not want to go that route when I did these.
For 28 bucks you cant go wrong in my opinion.
(No I am not connected in any way with this company or E-bay.)
