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.

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

now, hows the output?

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

Kennykid2002

iTrader: (1)

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

MindBomber

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.

Kennykid2002

iTrader: (1)

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

DarkSouljur

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

because someone smashed the rear of my car shortly

MindBomber

Forgot that happened

How're the repairs coming?

Kennykid2002

iTrader: (1)

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)

MindBomber

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.

MindBomber

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

MindBomber

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.

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

Kennykid2002

iTrader: (1)

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.

Biscuit

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

Kennykid2002

iTrader: (1)

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

DarkSouljur

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

Kennykid2002

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
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2pcs-...item5642144e22

DarkSouljur

Lol. $1 free shipping, i still can't believe it ... i love eBay, thanks

billing10

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

MindBomber

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
