High power reverse lights

[Rennagade]

I forgot about the hyper flash issue. I just was thinking yellow LEDs would be sweet because I change my bulbs often. The yellow color peels off the bulbs every 6 - 9 months and the flasher is less yellow over time.

You can replace the flasher with an electronic one from your local LAPS that fixes the hyperflashing issue. All the bulbs in our ancient RV are now LED and the new flasher makes it all work. I think it has a relay in it, iirc.

Update! I sent both of the bulbs back that failed on me. They sent back brand new ones no questions asked except a RMA. They work again! Hopefully forever now. I think it may have been a problem with my reverse switch and ended up blowing them out... all better now!

 

[Leeann]

Good to know!

Mine still work great and everyone comments on them.

 

[CzarKJ]

yes... "comments" as in curses when I back up and they are not expecting it

Just in case anyone wants to order these for the aftermarket Altezza tail lights and needs to order the 1156 bulb, here are the results. I'm actually afraid I'm going to blind someone backing out of my driveway now!!! :jawdrop:

This one does the brightness no justice because of my crappy phone camera, but it shows where the light points now.

This shows the brightness difference, one halogen bulb still in place:

Boom.

Well worth the money.

PS - these ones still had the radial lights around the bulb.

Interesting, I see they will fit my super duty as well, which has horrible backup lights. For the price though, I may give a couple of these a try and see how they are.

 

[Leeann]

Trust me - they're well worth it. I've already ordered a set for my Astro.

I flirted with the idea of replacing the taillights altogether, then I compromised by ordering these. I'll post back once they're installed.

You really get what you pay for with these LEDs. My friend is trying a different set as well and he's gonna compare the two.

I just ordered a couple off of the Deal Extreme site @11.50 each - will put them in my truck first (since I'm doing more driving in the dark) and see how they are.

I'll have to order a set of these for my wife's '03 KJ... I see that they only offer a 1 year warranty now. :|

That's my exact combination! (Same as TJKJ, but pretty sure I had em first!! )

BUT I see you ordered lights already, and I assume you got the wedge base for the stock housing. If you order these, you need to order the correct bulb for the housing (1156).

Ordering myself a set.

That looks good.

If I do the taillights it will be down the road a bit. Who knows, maybe the bulbs will be a bit cheaper by then. :cheers:

Ordered them on the 9th, they arrived on the 12th. I've been so busy with school that it wasn't until today I got a chance to put them in.

Every bit as good as advertised.
