Hey 1SWTGS,

You are the man for posting this. I ordered mine as soon as I read your post.

These lights are insane!

looks tempting, i wonder if they are reliable. granted they are probably not going to be turned on that often but for $40 i hope they last a while.

Can some of you guys get a shot of them shining on something from a distance.
Most of the time I want to see what im reversing to from a distance, rather than what the lights look like from 3ft away like the garage door.

A before and after in the same exact spot would be awesome since LEDs are generally directional
