hey i just put the super bright led conversion in my back up lights. and its not bright enough. i need SUPER BRIGHT!!! i cant see anything behind me. anyone know of something bright or something that will use the refelctive backing to send the light out. . let me know thanks

 

yeah.. regular halogen bulbs.. what the reflectors were designed for.

proper research would've told you that led "replacement bulbs" are not the way to go when it comes to taillights and such.

for the most part... it's dimmer than when you had your regular bulbs in there the first place.

 

the LED backup lights mod was specifically stated that it was only for looks... you'll never get the kind of light that a halogen gives you with some LEDs, otherwise we'd have LED headlights, which would actually be kinda cool if it worked

 

buy a pioneer d1 with the rear camera, then you should be able to see when backing up. im not sure why you need lights to see when your not driving an big rig? But IDK?

 

You need them when it's dark

 

put some of these on your hatch...


they will give off some HELLA light!

 

^^ in that case it might just be safer to drive backwards since you can see so much more

 

^^ tru!

 

I wish they made 50 watt halogen bulbs in 921. They have them for 1156 which I put in my Saturn. Hella bright. You'll melt the housing if you leave it on for too long.

heheh.. you can't see anything behind you? i got limo tint on my back windows.

it's fun trying to see behind you when it's dark outside..



how bad is it that you can't see with your regular bulbs in there in the first place?

 

It's fun putting it in reverse at a light if someone has their brights on. Some reason there are a ton of drivers in my area that drive with their brights on all the time at night. If I could find similar bulbs for the tC, I'd find a way to connect it to a switch so I can flash it at people when I'm rolling down the road.

 

There are also many large SUVs whose headlights, even at low beams, are at the height and brightness where they blind anyone driving in resposible vehicles practicing resposible headlight practices

what makes it even worse is that they have no idea... but of course considering the caliber of the mass majority of the people who drive such vehicles, its not surprising
