Those should provide plenty of light when the car is put in reverse.

Brighter than your headlights:

Or buy them with the Adjure reverse light (diamond-reflector/clear lens) housing at a combo price and have reverse lights as bright as than our aftermarket headlights:

OK, and thanks to all, one more question, Can I use LED's lights in the reverse lights, and at what point do I need resisters ? I have LED bulbs in the driving light, but most everything else is OEM bulbs.

you only need to worry about resistors with turn signal bulbs....
or you could ditch resistors and get our hyperflash harness

We have insanely bright LED reverse lights

Alternatively, you can get our complete replacement bulb kit which does every major bulb in the car (Except headlight and fog lights) HERE
