    I have a 97 GTP with LED tail lights. And i want to upgrade the reverse lights to leds. Found these on ebay but does anyone with LED tails run LED reverse lights? Id just like to get some opinions before i buy them. Also not sure about fitment. Thanks..

    You just need a 3156 bulb. I had Putco bulbs for a while.....





    They looked cool, but didn't put much extra light out. I currently have HID bulbs in there, and they put out some good light.....

    Those HID bulbs look pretty good. I want it to be brighter than stock and pure white. So i was thinking LED's but not sure which ones

    I can't comment on anything but the Putco LED's. Others have used cree bulbs, so hopefully they will pipe in; most LED's will be white/blue.

    Here are stock tails with the Putco LED on the left, stock bulb in the right.....

    Bronco dude, are those the smoked led tails or just the red ones? I had the red ones and had them smoked but i think they are too dark now. I am looking at getting another set of lights.
