Very nice! The bulbs you linked at the bottom, are they CREE LEDs? the Amazon page it goes to does not mention CREE.

I got them from ijdmtoy.com

http://store.ijdmtoy.com/50W-CREE-Hi...s-p/10-088.htm

It should be the same bulbs as someone else posted here earlier. The seem to be made out of aluminum and feel like a good quality.

This is exactly what i have super bright ! Its the way to go if anyones changing their reverse light.
Dont worry about the 50W because its being used as a reverse light purpose and its on for few seconds.
However i wont recommend this for parking light or a different application if the light will remain on for long period of the time its to strong.

Finally got 'er done.

I was finding the backup camera a little dim sometimes backing into dark parking spaces. This should help with that.

The phone camera doesn't make it obvious, but look at the wall for the difference in light output.

Installed these:

JDM ASTAR Extremely Bright 360-Degree Shine 921 912 90-EX Chipsets LED Bulbs For Backup Reverse Lights, Xenon White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GGK6QDW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_rcUEc1GLz7vdY
($17.99 shipped 2-day with Amazon Prime)

HUGE improvement over stock lamps. Easy to install and as previous posters have noted, no need to remove all 15 retainer clips. The few around where the lamps are housed is enough (note: when removing clips, be sure to pull straight down or you risk breaking them as they're simple plastic).

Thanks for sharing.
That is a significant difference.
