They are the first one's list - $25 a piece, so they better be bright!

Down the page they have the HID conversion kits for reverse lights listed.

I stand corrected on the LEDs being dimmer! That's awesome How much were the LED bulbs? I'd love to get some because I kinda wanna see how bright I can get things back there now haha

I have No clue cause I've never used whit night before but they are pretty bright for the price plus they don't have to be where I mounted them. I will move them somewhere better looking in the near future.

Do y'all think I should mount them maybe beside the blocks on the rear axle I think that might look pretty good that or ill mount them so they just peak out from under the edge of the rear bumper or something. And maybe make a custom lens cover or something. I dunno I'll make em look good

There's a pic in my profile, but on my android then, but looks like above. I installed then one summer afternoon when it was sunny and around 100° outside. After installing them, I asked the wife to check them for. It was 3 in three afternoon. I put three truck in reverse and she yelled " Holy $h*+!"

I thought something broke, do I threw the truck in park and hopped out. I asked what's wrong?

The wife yelled back, "Why didn't you tell me not to look directly at them? I'm seeing spots now!"

They're bright.
