They work great as cargo lights but not all that great for reverse. I don't have any pictures of them on for the reverse application but here's what I have:
They don't reflect very well in the reverse housing. I'm definitely disappointed. I will likely try a different pair in the future but will leave them for now.

Have you done much night driving? How does the headlights and fogs work? Curious about the ones on amazon like you have.

See posts 406, 407, 409 and 453 for commentary on the headlights. I used the fogs this morning in the rain. The color matches really well with the headlights. Since it was partially light out, it was hard to tell how well these perform. I did drive last night and used them but only for a short time. They are no worse than stock. I'll give them a couple weeks and report back.

My passenger side LED amber side marker already burned out. They were only $11 bucks but I'm very unhappy. I'll be returning asap as I've had them for only a month. Luckily O'Reilly Auto Parts had some amber Sylvania LEDs in stock so I picked up a set and installed. I didn't take pics since I was pissed and it was 36 degrees out and I wanted it done. I will say that these seem to match the color of my Raptor grill lights and stock blinker lights better. Hopefully returning the bad ones won't be an issue.

OK guys, got my LifeTime LEDs for my fogs delivered today. A little different configuration than the heads. These have an LED on either side, where as the heads have 3 LEDs all on the same side. The heads are mounted with the LEDs facing up, but what to do with the fogs? Mount so the LEDs are verticle, or horizontal, or play with them to see what works best? They are the H10 bulbs, BTW.

I just followed the same setup as BrewCity. Used the same fogs and used the Boost Bars H13 LED kit for the headlamps. The fog lights seem to work great so far, but unfortunately I got a defective set of headlamps as one of the headlamps only works in low beam (the entire headlight shuts down when high beam is activated). So unfortunately I've had to rip the whole setup out of the truck again and I've contacted Boost Bars to request a replacement set. I've attached a video below.
Outside of one of the high beams not working, the headlights look promising. It appears that my headlights were aimed really high and will require adjustment once I get a working set. Minding that, the headlights (on low) combined with the LED fogs is amazingly bright.

Just did a set on the mustang and had the same problem ... Check the wires, one of the pins was backing off on the connector. Looks like they used silcone to hold it in place. I was able to just push it in and they work fine.

Hmm, could be. Minding that I'd rather just return this defective set for a new working set. I'd worry about the longevity of a shoddy connection around the wiring/pins. Hopefully I hear something from Boost Bars today and they can expedite another set out here.

Question about PartsSquare LED Headlight Conversion Kit.
1. I have DRLs on my headlight bulbs. Will the LED conversion work with no problems if I have DRLs?
2. When I install this LED kit in the headlight housings, will I need to install them clocked at a certain angle? I notice there is a hood on one side of the LEDs.
TIA,
Al
