Default LED replacement backup bulbs.. not so bright

I replaced the back up bulbs with what i thought would be brighter LED bulbs. They appear to be very bright when looking at them outside the Jeep, but they do not seem to light up the ground any better (or maybe less) than stock.

Anyone else have experience with these?

I was looking at them the other day. The guy at the counter said that sometimes they just don't hot the reflector properly.

I put some some similar to these in mine and I can see a difference from inside. It's especially noticeable on my backup camera.

Agreed minus the back up camera (don't have one). I guess it depends on brand. Got these off amazon for cheap and they are real bright.
