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?

After reading that post, I replaced my backup lights with bright LEDs and the difference is spectacular. I had already done most of the other replacements (I left my footwell lights standard, as I just have never felt the need for much light down there), so now my RC is ready to go, day or night.

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!
