look what i just bought

supposed to be a new design and looks alot better than those bulbs where they just cram a bunch in there. supposed to have 180 degree viewing angle. I'm gonna try them in the reverse lights. I'll get a review up when they're here and installed.

well on ours it needs to be downward angled to even light up the plate, cause ours are designed for bulbs that shine from the side.

you could just get the luxeon emitter but that would take some skill to wire it so it doesnt burn too hot. its tricky cause our holders were made for bulbs

pics should still be up. i ended up not putting the ring light cause it was way too bright. i left the naked light in the ashtray so i can see stuff at night. its a great piece, everything fits and direct plug and play. if anyone needs a new piece with the 12v socket and spacers, i have one for sale its literally brand new not a scratch on it.
