****Also the rear of my car is the 2003 taillights...they are not all reded outt SO next to the blue reverse light...i have that yellow tinted indicator on my taillight...I notice on lextasy they dont have that--probably beacuse it looks better on there!

Ok guys..let it loose..

Do a search on Lextasy here before you place an order with them. Hasn't worked out well for others.

Here's a tip though. If you don't see anyone with something so readily available, there's a reason for it

who's going to see that? a cop? nah, don't worry about the ticket - just worry about diminished visibility due to the darker light.

I agree with cliffud. Those will barely light up anything and you won't be able to see what you're backing up into at night. LEDs don't spread well.

I got the leds from superbrightleds.com and paid a couple of dollars, not 15. They were 921's I believe. And like 9 led towers. Hyperwhite which has a tint of blue and looks real good.

Did yours spread good light when backing up!?!?

Because Cliff has a point I didnt even think offf
WWW.FRICKINBRITE.COM has a lot of LEDS very fairly priced as well..so I'm not getting from lextasy anymore!!

--But

Anyone know where I can get clear Bumper/indicator lights???

I saw them on ebay but lextasy looked better...but a few people ahev already told me to stay away from lextasy...so where else?!?!?!
