Okay, Some of you guys gonna hate on the LEDs,
To throw it out there right now, I dont give a #^%&, they look sick as HELL.

So, got the idea from myself earlier in another thread where the guy needed brighter reverse lights, and I found a pair of LEDs on ebay for $1.
Yes, $1.

So thought I'd get them just for the hell of it.
and man do they look sexy

LED


OEM Halogen Reverse Lights


Left LED Installed


Both LEDs Installed


Final Outcome: (Yes, I have LED License plate lights too)





Whatever you guys think, I still like them anyways, so I'm keeping them
Adds a nice accent to the rear tail lights

Those are pretty blue eh, did they have an LED thats more white?

Post a link to the ebay store.

 
Rep Power: 291

Actually, they are more blue in the picture than they look

it's actually very pure white
-shrugs-

Seller isnt selling those T10 bulbs anymore...and it's a brand new seller on ebay

now, hows the output?

they suck dont they? the stock bulbs are much much brighter.

 
Rep Power: 291

Honestly?
I never need to use the light from tails while backing, if i do, the brake lights are bright enough.

The output isnt that bad either, because they are SMD's and has like 9 LEDs in it
I was suprised at how bright these were, they actually brightened up the garage behind me.

Sweet man. I'm rockin some from (I think) superbrightleds.com. They're brighter than ****.. lol.. Not too blue, either

 
Rep Power: 285

Well, since you never wrote the H7 bulb into tail light DIY we're stuck with LEDs haha..

I'm willing to spend a $1 on LEDs that might be dim, if I don't like them I'll just take them out.

 
Rep Power: 291

Definately, if they are too dim, for $1, stick them in your map lights

 
Rep Power: 199

I love them! And for a buck, you can't beat it! I think i'll add this to the list of things i want to do to my civic come spring

 
Rep Power: 352

because someone smashed the rear of my car shortly

 
Rep Power: 285

Forgot that happened

How're the repairs coming?

 
Rep Power: 291

Do my reverse lights look really that compromised?
This pic is only the reverse lights on

(Its a lot bluer in the pic than in person for some odd reason)

 
Rep Power: 285

The LEDs distribute the light differently, but it's actually pretty good light output..

I'm working on an idea for rear fogs, without a $300 UKDM one, that would solve the light output problem.

 
Rep Power: 285

These ones look hella bright too, 7 LEDs in a t10 bulb..

Yeah, LEDS are directional
Dont get that LED
LED bulbs are horrible lightput, i have them for license plate light

The one i got has multi direction 9 SMD LEDs, thats why theyre so bright

 
Rep Power: 285

I admit, I'm not great when it comes to LED knowledge.

Thanks for the tip kenny.

I would love to see a pic of the illumination at 20'-25' on that garage door. Please post up for a comparison when I install H7 bulbs.

Whenever my H7 bulbs get here I will do a write-up.

Rep Power: 291

Do you really need to reverse 20' behind you? Lol

I'll try to see if I can do a longer distance test picture
However, my camera doesnt have long enough exposure to capture it I doubt
We'll see tmr night

Obviously it wont be as bright as your H7's...
but for $1, it's worth it

+I have no more yellow halogens in my car anymore, except for my DRL's

 
Rep Power: 291

This is a test from 35~40ft
(Only reverse lights)
Max illumination was about 15~18ft, for $1.04 shipped, definitely better deal than any other bulb installation.

Thank you.

hey Kenny, how's the daytime visibility with those bulbs? I had the ones that MindBomber attached the link to, and those were TERRIBLE during the day. The ones I have now are (I think, it's been a while since I've seen my tail lights illuminated during the day) alright

 
Rep Power: 291

Hmmm,
Dunno, Same as you, I just about never get to see the tails of my car....

I'll look tomorrow, and snap some photos

...that is after the funeral I have to attend

 
Rep Power: 199

Damn man even from 35' they look sexy!

Do you have a link for them? My cousin is trying to put them in his car but couldn't find any

 
Rep Power: 291

Sorry, forgot to snap some pix Josh,

But @Dark
Seller I bought from no longer sells the ones I bought

You just have to be patient with ebay, sometimes you get good stuff

These would be pretty good reverse lights, but theres only 1 at the end
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-pcs...item3a6214553b

Just search for T10 SMD LED
thats what I did, best if you bought the SMD LEDs, not the bulb LEDs, as the bulb diffuses the light coming from the LED and ruining the directional output

EDIT:

these look good, but they're blue
these look good too

i got the same ones but more blue and tinted tails and u can still see them fine

 
Rep Power: 285

These ones would be a couple dollars more, but they have 13 and 28 SMD LEDs?

thoughts?

Sorry about not replying, but the second ones look pretty good,
Even if im not a big fan of the LEDs on the sides, dont know how it'd work out for reverse lights

But I'd definately try sticking them in my DRL's
Hey, if anything, $4, you got yourself a nice set of map lights
