Default Brighter backing up lights

I installed the Adjure backup light unit along with a set of PIAA Xtreme white 1157 bulbs and for once I can now see clearly when backing out of my dark driveway. Really works superbly.

Much brighter especially if you go with some of these new crazy led bulbs. Bright enough to smoke dark and still get good output. We have them on sales $120 shipped, use the Halo buyer "BUY" button

Where did you find yours, I put a thread out a few weeks ago asking anyone who had them to let me know where to get the bright whites. I didn't finfd them on the PIAA web site either. PM me if you could please and let me know where you found them, Thanks

Is this price only available if you have previously purchased Halos from you or is it available to all Corvette Forum members?

Posting to subscribe. I like those housings. I don't think the reflective diamond background matters at all since the LEDs just face backwards so there's really nothing to reflect. Aside from that, they look really nice and I'm sure they'd make backing up way better.

YES, I am running a Adjure sale and am using the existing button. To answer your question, no , you do not need to be a previous Halo buyer.
