Instead of questioning these.. I'd recommend getting them from Vled since they're cheaper and have more LED's

I wonder how much brighter these are than stock. I just changed the ones in the reverse lights out to LEDS and it was not as much of a difference as I thought it would be.

Yea I changed my reverse to led with like 14 LEDs and it looked cool, but literally made no useable light.

dont understand why what? i spent that kind of $$$? oh BTW it was well over 700 for all my leds from them not to mention some of the ones i bought elewhere and that was for the interior/exterior.

keep in mind i ordered some, didnt like them,ordered some others/tried another until i found ones i liked. i have TONS of spare ones i didn't like.... i guess i need to sell

as for the tails....i dont like any of the aftermarket tails EXCEPT the JP'S and im not spending that $ on them. i actually do like the oem tails so i thought i would enhance them with the leds....then i got a little carried away (thanks to jackson) and next thing i know im in for like 700 + (as a matter of fact i ordered some bulbs 2 days ago) but in my defense not ONE bulb except the turn signals on the exteriors of the car and the ones inside the cluster (not the ones u can replace the ones that require opening the inside of the cluster) are oem everything else has been replaced with LEDS or is in the middle of being replaced to LEDS.

i will take those bulbs from you....if u can find me some cheap ceramic resistors. (were these for the front or rear, i forgot)

why it must be said every time that you spent so much when it wasnt asked... I too have spent as much (as everyone else, but dont feel the need to always say so) and also, if you spent that much, a $10 resistor shouldnt be a problem
