Submitted an offer of $23.50 for these on eBay....can't even believe how much brighter it is in reverse. It's a simple plug and play bulb too. Probably the best $20 or so purchase I've made. Really a must have, especially for those of you who have tinted windows like mine.

Thanks for the LED tip, I've noticed a couple other variables like the "Q3" versus the "Q5", here is a good explanation for you.

For everyone else, I'll try to get some pictures tonight. I didn't think about getting any before pictures, but they're so easy to install I can try and get a comparison for y'all.

The first picture was both reverse lights installed with new LED lights.
Second picture was just passenger side with new LED lights.
Third picture was just driver side with stock lights on.
The pictures were taken with me standing about 20' from the garage door. The pictures really don't do the lights justice....for those with tinted windows, especially with a lift and 35s, it's a much needed addition. Hope those help ya'll out....let me know if you have any other questions.

Use your engine heat!
This is how I warmed up my burrito.
Not a great picture - there is something wrapped in foil that you can just make out. Wish there was a better spot, but sitting on top of the alternator actually worked pretty well. Three layers of foil around the burrito. The cheese even melted!

Call me crazy, but I think I'm going to make a tray that fits between the headers and steering shaft and has a lid to hold things like burritos and hot pockets. Wrap in foil, toss in metal tray, wheel. Eat. Profit.

These combined with the stock fogs that I re-purposed by mounting in 3" ABS caps and mounting on my rear tire carrier will be perfect.
