I purchased the 5W version from Amazon and have been very happy with them. There is also a 7W version but I don't have any idea how to compare the differences. The 5w performance blows away the stock bulbs even with 20% front window tint. The only drawback is when you get close to an obstruction their "projection" looks like a flashlight beam when close to a wall. That's not an issue if you have the Back-Up Assist System but just something to be aware of.

I love them BTW.

I too have the 5 watt version. A huge improvement and i'm totally happy with the performance. I got them off of Ebay.

I would love to have some that were more flood than spot but these are fine.

I have the 7w and love then, just don't look directly at them, they are bright. Got them on Amazon.

Will be replacing soon with 12w, they are 7w back during cree, and two side firing 2.5 w standard, to create a wider pattern.
