No. Just the interior bulbs. The back ups don't glow unless they're turned on

My reverse lights do not glow unless they're turned on. Then they're bright as hell.
Btw, your inbox is full

So the ones you linked to don't glow then? I don't want any that glow unless turned on specifically.

The website says those bulbs are oversized. Did you find they fit in the reverse and backup fixtures. Thanks for the info.

I picked up https://www.superbrightleds.com/more...ower/910/2244/

For both my reverse lights and my cargo lights
Very bright and visible

That's right. No glow, only on when turned on, not even a faint glow when they are off, and super bright.

One thing I forget to mention, these are so bright that if you use them for the license plate, you can see them in the rear view camera as a white glow at the bottom of the screen.
