LED Back Up bulbs installed

[SAV912]

I had the same LEDs for reversing, and they looked great at night or in cloudy conditions, but were otherwise awful and didn't do the job near as well as the stock bulbs did. The light is in too direct a beam, and since most people look at a car from an angle while it's reversing, I was almost hit several times. Didn't take long to call it a failure.

Out they came, but they now live in my map lights location. Suppose they do the job there.

can't be talking about the ones I installed. you can see these from any angle
and they are brighter than stock ever was. from directly behind they are blinding, which is no big deal because the use cycle is short (just me backing up at night)

What about if the sun is shining on the back of the car while you are reversing? That was almost always the instance when I was reversing and somebody else would honk and claim I should "fix my back up lights".

you need to understand how bright a cree 5w emitter is. trust me... it is overkill.
you can see this in daytime as easily as a car headlight
