How to Upgrade Reverse Lights to Cree Style LED's *PICS w/ Comparison*

I've been looking at these personally.

Maybe they would fit better.

Possibly, but those are $22 and a different style.

The seller just refunded me $5 because shipping took a while, so these cost $8. I don't care that they are taped in, no one else will know and it looks just as good.

Cree diodes will always be brighter than the SMD or SMT diodes.

op, is there a good amount of difference in light output than you can see from inside the car..??? my windows are tinted, makes backing up a lil tricky some times... LOL

using backup lights to see where youre going....hahahaha

Yes, they are quite a bit brighter than the halogens.

Bio, the GP is the first cr I've driven where the stock lights dont help you while in reverse. They don't just have a sole purpose of letting people see you.

I agree with you on my 07 GP we have these sort of crappy LED lights but they are very bright and super white and do light the back wall when backing up, later when we got the money we might install better LEDs.

Btw nice set up on yours

got me a set on the way!!!!!!!!!! lol

hid reverse

seriously did it in my ram, doing it in the gtp as soon as the tinted tails get here

Need pic from inside pointing down dark road.

They seem too directional. Hate that about leds.

I'll get a pic eventually (Can't find anywhere dark near me), these CREE one's aren't too unidirectional.

I put these in and WOW are the a hellava lot cleaner and brighter than factory bulb. Tight fit. 68-SMD LED 3156 3157 Rear Turn Signal Light Bulb White 68-SMD LED 3156 3157 Rear Turn Signal Light Bulb White | eBay

^^ Nice find, looks like a deal.

You're not a balla unless you install hid reverse lights with a hot switch for those pesky tail gaters ;)

^you have no idea how many plans i have drawn up on how to do that^^

^^ thats awesome!

it's stupid bright in clear tails

it's okay w/ heavy tinted tails

Ok i just thought about this,

why this there a "how to" thread about replacing light bulbs?
I mean im pretty sure everyone knows how, like do we need a "how to" thread about braking on leafs?
Come on now lets not dumb up this forum with noob stuff were all smart on here(well most of us)

there is a write up on gpona for reverse hid
for the gp too, but that guy got pissed that i already had reverse hid in my truck and stopped posting
