Should I get these?

[Focker]

I want to smoke my tail lights with vinyl but I want to increase my reverse light O/P first.
Would these do the trick?
Thanks

Bluntman is right. If you are going to smoke the tails you would need at least LED projectors IMO. You might want to consider even HIDs

[Focker]

Really? I've seen the projectors on eBay and it only has one LED in it. But the ones I posted above have many LEDs on it. Wouldn't that make it brighter?

[jshacm]

oh yah... the projectors are always brighter. i have projectors on my fogs and brakes and they are brighter than the reverse LEDs that i have.

see if any of the sponsors have the projectors. i got mine from lighdepot.ca, which is out of t.o.

i guess i dont see the point in spending that much money for backup lights but to each his own.

Good enough for me.

First, how dark do you want your tails tinted?
Stealth Smoke - LEDs are useless for this tint from sunrise to sunset
Dark Smoke - LEDs are mildly visible in sunlight
Light Smoke - LEDs are suitable for this tint

Second, Why not consider HID?
a) As bright as headlights
b) Cautions people surrounding you that there's a vehicle about to exit parking, reversing from late red light stop, other reversing needs
c) Helps you see better night / day when reversing in dark areas with rear windshield tints
d) LED / Halogens aren't that different in terms of output http://www.cleanmpg.com/photos/showphoto.php/photo/14029/si/250h



If you still wish to go with LED, Pacific Mall should have the same ones as well as different styles of LEDs, and their diode colours. My brother picked up a pair for his brake light on his motorcycle cruiser.

You never know when you might have to drive backwards down a dark country road. They would come in handy then! ;)

Thats why i have HID highs lows and soon reverse lights.
Keep in mind i live on country rd 27.

( i realise your joking.. im not.. To often people fly up my road doing 110 with only DRLS on.)

some people here run the led projector bulbs? theyre bright as hell but i found that they dont work with my hatch. the way the bulb sits in the housing, the bulb r facing outwards towards the sides of the car. nothing is being projected backwards.

I Plan on getting LED projectors from a sponser and shipping them along with some other things ;)

when you take a piss, do you want it to drench your feet and the floor?

same applies when it comes to reverse lights, you want the beam to focus on a specific spot.

[Darkice]

no i bought these and there dimmed as hell get the projectors

[Darkice]

+1 good example:thumbsup
