Default Replacing Backup bulbs ????

Hello all. Hoping someone can shed some light between these two choices.

OR

Thanks, Dave.

Dave,
I wouldn't use either one. The Ebay one is only 3W output, no increase for what you already have, the Amazon one doesn't say what it is.
This is what I went with, and helps immensely with the rear camera:

Same ones I installed, they are definitely brighter than stock.

Or, you could install a set of these on your rear spring shackles.
They'll light up the night behind you.
I wired mine into the backup lights and they are very good. Simple install.

Totally understand all my options. Just want to replace OEM bulbs with upgrades and those two I have researched come highly recommended. Just want to see if anyone else has used them?

I am very happy with my JDM-ASTER 3D262710983989 as Dave Z mentioned. I believe mine were purchased thru Amazon.

These are what I have installed in a Spyder Light LED taillight assembly on my '02 SCrew. They provide great lighting.
