Default LED Reverse lights installed

My Cree 7w Leds came in, and took all of a whopping 5 minutes to install. All I have to say is wow!

They are a huge improvement over the stock bulbs. My driveway faces West, and it was an hour ago when I put them in. Really bright outside in Texas this afternoon. I asked the wife to come out and check if they came on when I put the truck in reverse. She was standing about six feet behind the truck. I put it in reverse and the wife yells, "Holy $h*+!" She doesn't normally cuss. She said I should have told her not to look directly at the lights, and that she was seeing spots.

They are bright as hell.

Editted to add picture:

Yeah, I tried pictures, but the sun on the other side of the truck washes out the picture.

Let me take some after the sun goes down.

Tell us where you got them please, A link? Do they put light out in a flood pettern or more like a spot beam.

Bought them on Amazon. $17. Do a search for Cree 7w 921. Just be aware you will need to reverse the wires on the base. They bend easily.

Since it's daylight out, I can't tell you if the pattern if flood or spot, but I will let you know.

Mine are in the reverse lenses, and are 7w. Not like the picture from Captain.

Yeah, I'd buy from Amazon. Real easy to get a refund if you need one, and mine came in three days.

Amazon Amazon

Here they are. They are at least 5 times brighter than stock, and they are a flood pattern. They lit up my whole garage door.
