    I've been looking at these personally.

    3157 3057 44SMD LED White Light Bulbs TurnSignal/BackUP | eBay

    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.

    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

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

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

    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)
