Got the JLC 13-SMD T10 installed for reverse lights. Taken at different exposure rates since its so bright - gives an idea how bright they are.

VERY NICE!!! How hard was it to change the bulbs? I am considering it myself. Thanks!

It was mostly relatively easy if you have the tool kit.

The challenge piece of it seems to be the courtesy part. Reason being is that there is a piece that initally comes off to be able to get to the stock bulb.. After putting the LED, the piece which was taken off needs to be put back on however it is very tight fit because the LED is longer in length than the stock such that it cannot be simply pushed down as there is not really any freeplay (as compared to stock).

The way I did it is to push on one edge a bit, then push the other so it moves a bit lower and lower until eventually it snaps in place. After it snaps in position it's fine as it shows wii bit of freeplay afterwards.
