Sorry for the crappy cell pic, but you get the idea. I have actually had these for a while with the LED Tag light, but one burned out and I had to return it to VLEDS.com. These compliment the 6000k HID's perfectly.

The brighter the better you can see what you're backing into at night and the better for ppl to see that you're reversing

are they actually any brighter? camera pics can be deceiving. i talked about this on another thread and if the only benefit of changing the bulb is for the color, then i wouldn't bother changing it. but if it's actually brighter, then that's a whole other story. i'm really looking for brighter reverse bulbs since i've got my rear window tinted kinda dark and iv'e found it's hard to reverse at night. i love my coupe but i think the rear visibility's kinda junk

Ya I changed my bulbs to leds but they wound up being dimmer than stock.

How are these compared to stock with visibility ???

Good point you guys!

Mpbclutch33: they look bright as hell from your picture but are they as bright as they appear and aid you while reversing?

Thank you,
