Default What are you using for reverse lights?

Just curious to what people are running for reverse lights, and how they like them? Particularly IN the factory housing.

I popped in superbrightleds.com WLED-W19-T bulbs for my reverse bulbs. They have 4 led facing rear and then I dunno 12 or something mounted radially.

Can't really tell if they are any brighter than stock, so I am curious to what other people are running so I may upgrade in the future.
What kind of current can the reverse light circuit take?

*Also* any way to program the BCM to adjust the flashing back to stock? I ran a digital flasher on my Ranger, but these damn software run F-series thwart me at every turn it seems.

You mount them to the bolts holding the bumper together. I've done on two of my Fords now.

I currently have LED bulbs installed in my Taillights. While its better than stock, they still dont put out enough light.

I plan on cutting holes in my rear bumper and installing some square LED lights. There have been a few threads posted on this. Its the cleanest install I've seen.

Flush mount in the bumper is what I did. Fairly simple if you're not scared of cutting

For just installing a bulb...The Phillips LED's are damn good! They actually shine light instead of just being bright.
My camera looks as if it's daytime.

I actually just bought this
Amazon.com: KAWELL® 18W DC 10-30V 6500K LED Flood 60 Degree Off Road Waterproof Work Light Bar for Jeep Cabin/boat/suv/truck/car/atvs/fishing/Deck Driving: Automotive Amazon.com: KAWELL® 18W DC 10-30V 6500K LED Flood 60 Degree Off Road Waterproof Work Light Bar for Jeep Cabin/boat/suv/truck/car/atvs/fishing/Deck Driving: Automotive
and installed it in the top holes of my license plate. Its wired into the 7 pin connector. I was going to do the under the bumper lights but my dual exhaust is in the way. I figured for $19 and free Prime shipping I couldn't go wrong. Its extremely bright. Only real negatives I read about is some people saying that moisture got in theirs, so I siliconed where the wires come out and around the lens. Works great because I had trouble seeing and I have no camera.
