LED reverse lights?

I change out all my interior and tag lights to the LEDs. I really like the look.

Does anyone sell the back up lights in the LED format?

Looks funny with tag lights in white light and the reverse lights in yellow. Thanks in advance. Danny

Check this place out, they seem to have heaps. I haven't replaced my reverse lights yet so I'm not sure what bulb they are, but look anyway.

I have them on mine and they look awesome. I bought the from www.superbrightleds.com and they shipped quickly. Putting them in was very simple by reaching in under the rear bumper. If I had pics I would post but unfortunately I do not.

What is the difference between single circuit and dual? Which version should I order for the backup light?

A 3157 bulb is "dual circuit" as it has two filaments. Normally these are used where two levels of illumination are required (such as tail lights that are also stop lights).

The same style bulb with a single filament (and therefore single circuit) is a 3156.

The stock bulb is a 3157. Therefore, buy an LED replacement that is intended to be a replacement for 3157 bulbs.
