80 watt projector leds from ebay.
I've installed them on all my vehicles, worth every penny

Posted the link up above ^^^
Or look up 80w 3156 on ebay, a pair is about 17-18 bucks
Very easy install, just have to make sure they're installed the right way as they are polarity sensitive. If they dont work they need to be flipped backwards.

Can't find them on Vision X's website either. Found them along with drawings on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vision-X-4000759/301853377647?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D36331%26meid%3D2357e51f74a04b1294df03c35448029b%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D5%26sd%3D201472148980

At first glance I like how Swamprat91's lights look (the design of the bulb). But the #'s don't add up. They can't be 80W and not cause problems with stock wiring, not in a 3156 form factor, amps would be WAY too high... At 80W each, 12V, they would call for 6.66amps of current, which is a LOT Of current for a light... even COMBINED, if they were 40W each, that's 3.33amps per bulb... way way WAY too much for that size bulb/factory wiring... I think those #'s are a little "iffy" and most likely "fake". I'd love to hear Diode Dynamics take on them, I'm sure they'd agree. I'm sure they are nice LED lights and are far superior over your stock halogen reverse bulbs, but they (mathematically) can't add up to that much lumen, wattage for light output. Again, still better then stock just don't go by their advertised #s.

However if you want some inexpensive LED lights, these are what I recommend for someone on the cheap (I usethe 7" ones on my truck)

7" 36W 3600 lumen, $41.50 (pair)
http://www.4x4truckleds.com/7-36w-cr...d-light-flood/

4" 18W 1800 lumen, $29.50 (pair)
http://www.4x4truckleds.com/4-18w-cr...d-light-flood/

4" 18W 1800 lumen, flush mount, $28 (pair)
http://www.4x4truckleds.com/auxbeam-...d-light-flood/

For bulbs (LED reverse as well as others), use these links. I only ever use my LED bulbs in my truck, it's rare I turn the floods on.

Some comparison photos of the LED bulbs only vs. the stock halogen:

Did you wire them to your reverse lights? Difficulty?
