The LED bulb are listed with the standard back-up bulb part# that you find in the manual.

Definitely makes a difference - not as much as the adding the burners that was shown in the original portion of this thread but still it's a big improvement! I added a picture and you can tell the LED light is on the driver's side and the standard bulb is on the right side. Not a great pic but it was raining and I was trying not to get wet!

Thanks for the help.

No issues with the extra heat on the plastic?

I have not noticed an issue from the LED bulbs & plus they are only on for a limited amount of time while backing up.

I "believe" that those LED's would be cool to the touch even it they were on for a while.

They can still get warm but it's very small overall output of heat compared to regular bulbs. That's my understanding.

I have the platinum burners in mine & have for over a year & no problems with the plastic yet. But I cut a lot out of the back of mine so there's more heat escape
