Just wanted some thoughts

Reverse lights were bought off ebay for 39.99..
Each bulb has one led rated at 7 watts a piece..



The video, the sound is delayed because of the bulls**t HTC EVO that I have...

I think the better demonstration would be the OEM bulb in one backup light, and the LED bulb in the other. And then back the car up to your garage at night and compare the two side-by-side.

Nice and all that you made the video, but the only thing it shows well is that your exhaust sounds sweet.

What do you think, fatboy? Side-by-side comparison?

Btw...the bulb is very bright straight out but I would have opted for one with SMDs that fire out multidirectional.

the LEDs look like they have a mini projector lense on them making them that much harder to aim...

i might try to space out the LED where it isnt as close to the clear lense or maybe try and remove the tiny projector....

Nice bulbs. Crap I need to cut my cats or get headers. I swear your car sounds like it has an LT1 under the hood.
