What's the look on them are they bright white or more blue? If you had to buy a new set would you get these again?

I wouldn't mind having some of these for my Lexus CT200h... and maybe a version for the backup lights too.

Does anyone know what lights are being used in the video for the reverse back up lights, I need some of those. I have to back up a dark driveway to get into my garage. I just put the license plate LED's on order.

Here's a pic of them on my car. (Much brighter in person) They dont look that crazy bright in my photo. But you could see it from space LOL. I recently changed them to a different brand that still looks white but just not as bright.


1SWTGS also installed them on his car. He posted a quick vid on Youtube. This gives you a much better idea how bright they actually are.

It's crazy how doing simple things like this cuts the aging of our cars in half. When I finally did the led replacement in the interior, I get great reviews from people who get in my car.

Yakuza-GS you said that the LEDs that FlockoGS4 had were a little too bright and you switched to some different ones.....what ones did you go with? Do you have a link. there are just soo many on ebay it's hard to know what to go with.

Just go with a regular hi-powered multi SMD LED bulb. That what I have installed. Mine are either 4 or 5 SMD which is bright enough. They are all over eBay and are cheap. I bought a pack of 10 bulbs for around $5 at the time. Trust me on this and they are not super bright like what is attached.
