yup phenom is right... cheap LEDs for reverse would be kinda dim.

I do have LEDs that are as bright or slightly brighter than regular bulbs in my reverse but it cost me $50 to 2.

sorry i forgot where I got them from. autolumination or vled.. not sure which.

I got some small ones from superbrightleds and they look beautiful but are nearly impossible to use. I need to roll down my windows now so I can get a better view of what's back there.

oo so people DO use it to back up i thought the reverse light was just for people to know your backing up..but there would be no way for me to see back there

I back into almost everywhere I park and it helps gauge where my car is to a wall or whatever's behind me

i wanted to upgrade mine too, but from the threads i saw there wasn't anything available that's much brighter than stock. it's hard backing up with tinted rear window, i end up just using my side mirrors

I found it. These lights are in my car right now and they are BRIGHT. Probably bright as regular bulb if not brighter. Looks great when it's on.It doesnt just glow like regular LED reverse you see on ebay... it shines! looks like caddy back up lights you're talking about.

Downside is... it does cost $50 .
