Here is what I went with.


It's not like having rigids but way better than stock and they throw light to the outsides which I like.

I think you think I was talking about the reverse lights in the tail lights. I was really talking about the brake lights in the tail lights. I know we are talking about reverse lights. Also, do I need CK bulbs for the tail lights or the 'regular' like these? I believe we need CK for the rear brake lights?

Yup, I just need to know about the rear brake lights. I already have my 3rd brake light handled.

Yep, so far so good. I have tinted front windows and back up camera and it helps in both situations.

I like that they are 227 lumens, but not sure if I want a projector lens or not.
