bought these from ebay for the reverse

picture of the bulbs

picture to compare LED on left

also got some more of the 194 LED bulbs to finish the interior

http://www.ebay.com/itm/251370483066?_trksid=p2060778.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
footwell to compliment the maplights

rear hatch area LED on left

i just couldn't see spending 27.99 from a supporting vendor for the backup LED when ebay is 5.94 for the pair. the 194 LED are 7.79 for a 20 pack when a local shop were selling for 5.00 each and a supporting vendor selling for 15.00/pr. i'm sure there are some kind of difference, but not for that much of a price hike.

I compared these cheap 194 LED to the ones I bought from jnm motorsports for the tag light. The jnm ones are brighter. But not 4.00 more brighter.

Looks good Robert! I did the same led swaps you've done too. Makes a huge difference.

put these on yesterday. acrylic mirror for 24.00. not too impressed, but it's what you expect for that price. they stick out past the fascia about 1/4". i'll probably get stainless when these fall off.
