Default Recommendations for bright reverse bulbs

So, the LS has 20% tint all around and I have been having a hard time seeing the driveway when backing in at night. I've swapped out the stock bulbs for 38 SMD LEDs for my reverse lights hoping for improvement, but other than looking nice, no improvement in brightness.

Has anyone been successful in replacing the reverse bulbs with something bright and noticed a positive difference, especially if you have tints?

Check ijdmtoy.com for led reverse lights. Get one that has a lens focus piece at the end

Thank you - seems like they have a bunch of options available for the LS, but they definitely aren't the cheap ebay type, which is what I had. Hopefully one of these will work out.

They have worked for me just great in my LS before I changed to the aftermarket Avest/SpecD led tails. I've also used them in a prior BMW and also a Honda with great results and no failures

Thanks again. Just ordered a pair of Cree 30 watt, front/back LEDs. These should definitely do the trick.
