Best 7440 Bulb for Reverse Light?

[philipfreire]

Any recommendations? I know V-LED's got a few, but not sure which is best. I bought a set from Pacific Mall but the output is weak and the two bulbs have a small difference in color!!!

LEDS won't be able to match the light output by the stock incandesents. Are you after looks or lumens?

GE from crappy tire.

this one looks like HID output is amazing

Yeah I noticed the output cant be beat to traditional incandescent.

I'm not really after looks but I dont like the incandescent with the blue bulb to give the white look.

I have changed all my yellowish lights to white led. (dome.map,trunk,plates,etc) and would love to keep the match very close for the reverse lights.

Im not a huge fan of those lights from vleds as they look so weird. I'm also iffy on the 7W outage Is that too strong?

i was tempted to buy those v-LED's for my fogs, but I noticed that I can get a cheap pair of HID's for 40 bux instead.

But I think these are the brightest reverse lights you can get.. If you be a guinea pig and buy these and they work.... I might ... well maybe... set up a group buy

I think those will fit the housing, my only complaint is the housing is so transparent that you see all those yellow led star shaped bulbs, looks kinda bad IMO. I wish they had a chrome standard bulb.

LEDs are awesome for the reverse, only problem is, like Noisy Crow said, they don't throw the light as far as normal bulbs. For the city, its no big deal. I have LED reverse in my Protege, and put them in my Wife's new Astra, and she said the light is fine.

If your interested, you can get a pair of 3 x 1 Watt LED Wide Angle SW LEDs for about $36 all in, including shared shipping in this current GB.
