Way to go Tim. The backup lights are the biggest bang for the buck as it makes it easier to see behind you.

I have always been disappointed at the level of illumination provided by back up lights, so it is a real pleasure to to get some serious lumens for a change. I had a hint that these LEDs were going to be good when I saw the warning on the package indicating not to use them for anything other than backup lights, as they generate too much heat to use for longer than a few minutes. I cannot recommend this simple and inexpensive modification too highly.

I installed visor, step well, trunk and reverse lights. My door lights on my 16 rc350 f sport already came with LED pannels, I wasn't able to switch in bulbs as they already came with the led housings. Anyone else experience this?

Couldn't agree more on replacing the backup lights:

Its like adding a pair of led flashlights to your car when you backup. The backup camera gains a huge benefit!
