so I am looking at options to get a decent amount of light for backing up in the dark, yes i have a tinted hard top, and yes it sucks with stock tail lights. according to google there are led plug and play replacement bulbs out there, anyone have experience with these? which ones are truely plug and play and worth the money?

if i can avoid mounting new light gear thats great, im looking to just take the covers off my tail lights and swap a bulb if at all possible.

Know you said you just wanted bulb replacement but why not just do it one and be done? Also if you ever go to corner armor you could mount these in the bumper with no problem.

mainly because i dont have a cutting tool, and i suck at wireing, and they cost alot. i was leaning more in the direction of Amazon.com: Aaron High Power White 80W 3157 XB-D Cree LED Light Bulbs Super Bright for Brake Backup Tail Reverse Turn Signal Lights: Automotive because all i have to do is open the lights and swap a bulb, as long as i can find out which ones work the best so i dont have to learn the hard way which ones short out fuses or burn out fast or dont fit at all.....

Does anyone have any experience with these LED reverse bulbs!? I'm also curious.

I have them and they make a difference. And they are cheap. I have people ask me all the time why my backup lights are so bright or what lights do I have etc.

How long have you run them for?

I know you said you did not have wiring skills/cutting skills but here is an old post/mod that I did and I love it.

I did add a switch to turn on the lights manually also but that is not needed.

thanks, ordering a set before the days get short, once we get down to 4-6 hours of daylight max i tend to sleep through all of it and its nice to be able to see when i have to back up

They are very bright and a monkey can install them. Do they make all the difference when backing up with a lifted rig? They help but not the be-all-end-all solution. Regardless, a cheap improvement worth the $25.
