Been seeing a few go with these so I decided to try some myself. I went to ebay and if you search 3157 cree reverse lights you will come up with what I purchased. I went with the 5watt bulbs that were not shipping from china. I got them in 3 days. Sorry for bad cell picks, I didnt have time to pick up my fancy cam. I will update with better pics when I get a chance.

Looks great. How much were they?

 

looks interesting , im going to wait for the better pics

 

Looks like $30 on eBay
Does anyone know how many watts the OE bulbs draw?
I've seen more than one post about current draw confusing the computer...

 

Yes those are the ones. Im curious about the watt/amp draw of a halogen 3157 bulb as well. From what I've read if led bulbs are used for blinkers it with throw off the can bus because leds draw so litter power and the computer will think the bulb is out resulting in a hyper blinker effect. Resistors should cure this issue however they need to be spliced in. I may try these in my front turns and see what happens. I know I will probably have to find a dual intensity bulb with inline resistors.

 

looks great. very bright

 

ill be upgrading my reverse bulbs to led too. I already did my brake/tail light bulb to led bulbs. I had to add 2 resistors in to slow the blink rate down though.

 

Thank you for this wonderful thread!

 

Soooooo so do you need resistors to do what the OP has done?????? Thx

 

Ordered some...... Thx
