LED Turn Signal Bulbs, worth a try?
#17
Anyone tried the reverse bulbs for better visibility on the back up camera?

Those use Cree LEDs and if they really are Q5 bin each LED costs about $4-5 a piece so a pretty good deal right there for 2 that's almost $10 in just parts. I bet these are just driven lightly at probably 1W so thats only about 100 lumens but if you know some soldering I bet you can just change the current limiting resistor and have it running at around 3W to put out about 280 or so lumens just don't be backing up for way too long because at 3W those LEDs put out some decent heat.

Flash confirmation is convenient. When you are walking away from the car and not sure whether you lock it or not, you push the "lock" button and see it flashing once. Without the flash confirmation it still beeps, but you may be far enough from the car not to hear the beep.
I had to choose between the cool-looking LED turn signals and the flash confirm. I went to the turn signals.
