Are Led Reverse Lights In A Fox Cheesy?

After reversing at night and almost grinding the side of a curb on my chromy's I decided to take action. I bought a set of led reverse lights from the zone today. Can't wait to see how they do tonight. Anyone else running something similar? I already have led cluster and climate control lights. Just didn't want to go overboard lol

Waiting for your results

where did you get the led bulbs for the interior? buddy of mine with a 94 cobra is looking for them.

Sylvania makes some fancy name bulbs (Silver Star?) that ARE as bright as they say. I'll be replacing all the Mustang's tail bulbs after doing it on a van. You could see backing up even with tinted windows. They are cheaper than the bright led bulbs I found

My work colleague just got LED reverse bulbs and they are extremely bright compared to the OEM units. I'd put them on after seeing the difference first hand.

I'd like to hear from you're experience with them, I dread parallel parking at night. Can barely see out the back of a vert anyways.

I mention the brand of BRIGHT traditional bulb as LED bulbs are still under development. You are not sure what you are getting until you plug them in. Some do not work with regular blinkers. I bought a set of 1157 LED's from a truck stop, and the blinkers did work. But they were not quite as bright as regular bulbs. They are in a trailer for their low load and higher vibration tolerance.

The new style, really bright leds may be on a body that is too big for your reverse or tail light housing. Measure first. Just like household LED bulbs, they will be awesome when the bugs are worked out and prices drop.

In the mean time, here is the info on the BRIGHT Sylvania SilverStar bulbs. I got them at Advance auto, but I have seen them at other chains too. You can get bulbs that are supposed to be about as bright as the HID ones without wiring issues or melting the plastic housing.
