Default Tigershark reverse LEDs; final version [Pics]

I have changed up my reverse lights for my tigershark rear again. I originally had an LED strip as my light source but I wanted something brighter and more symmetrical.



I ordered a set of six "Extremely bright pre-wired superflux 4-chip 12V LED" bulbs from Oznium.com and installed them on the license plate bezel that comes with the tigershark.

http://www.oznium.com/prewired-superflux


I drilled the holes in the bezel, installed the LEDs and secured them with silicone.






Installed and off:




Turned on:






It's hard to tell in the daytime pics, but these little suckers are BRIGHT. Much brighter than what I had previously.

I'm very pleased with the outcome because they allow for full reverse lighting functionality without forcing me to use euro-style tail lights.

Looks great! That's always been the one thing I don't like about the Tigershark rear end.

Let us know how long the lights last. I read some reviews on that site and there was a lot of complaints about them dying.

hmmm. i'll keep an eye out.

they're cheap and they'll be easy to replace though. i'd just have to scrape off the silicone and pop them out.

they aren't activated much at all so they shouldn't burn out too quickly.
