Default Best reverse lights

I know this question has been beat to death but I was wondering what the best led bulb for reverse lights is. Also does anyone have a reverse light that goes around the recever hitch and goes in the trailer light connector. Thanks for the input, I appreciate it.

Here's a link to the JDM's on Amazon. I just installed a set on mytruck this afternoon. It's no even completely dark yet and I can notice an improvement in light.

Thanks for the input, has anyone used a receiver hitch light that utilizes the trailer lights?

In my opinion (doesn't always mean much) a set of Rigid SRMs or SR-Qs under the bed of the truck is the best option. Most of us have shackle mounted the cubes/pods. They're up under the truck and out of sight for the most part. Great light output of course.

Rhino, in terms of brightness, JDM Astar has a brighter bulb that MAY fit in the tail light housing.

http://jdmastar.com/product/113/GX-3...-Set-of-2.html

They fit the socket but I used the word MAY because they may be too long as they don't give a dimension on their website and I can't verify that they fit. However, I do plan on ordering these bulbs for my truck next week and posting the results here and I may possibly start a thread in the "Members Build's" section for my truck with the results and a few more mild upgrades. They are 200 lumens brighter than the one Crownman got. Just a step up from those bulbs I guess.

Ok, can you hit me up when you get them installed and let me know how you like them and if they fit. Like I said before I know this subject has been beat to death but I was just wanting some fresh ideas. I have a reverse bulb out so I have to replace them anyway and I figured if I could go brighter then I would.

The Blazer. 10 bucks from Amazon. Plugs into your 7 pin connector. Lights up when you hit reverse.

Besides the blazer is there any reciever hitch light that can be plugged into the trailer lights? Also anyone else have any inputs on reverse light bulbs?
