Default Best 194 LED Bulb and Reverse LED?

What is the best plug and play 194 LED bulb for footwell, cargo, and license? Also looking for nice bright LED reverse bulbs for stocking housing. Thanks...

I bought LED reverse bulbs from Corvette Mods' black friday sale. Haven't got around to installing them yet.

I can't answer regarding the cargo, footwell, and license plate lights, but here's a comparison between the stock bulbs and the LEDs that I installed in the stock backup light housings:







I got mine off of the big auction site; search "2 x 1157 Cree 80W White Brake Parking Lamp High Power Turn Signal Light Bulbs"


I hope this helps!

I have done all interior and most of the exterior lights using Radio Flyer. I think he has some of the best product and service out there.

Remember most vendors don't make them and are buying from the same source.

the best reverse lights I have personally used are 80w cree led's, you can get them on ebay for about $40 a pair... they are way brighter than the standard led reverse lights... for the footwell and cargo area I would get the led strips from jwmotoring, they are really nice, not expensive, plug and play, and I have received many compliments on them

Thanks for the responses guys...
I had been looking at the Cree 80w for reverse, and possibly Sylvania
LEDriving led lights for other.
