ive heard nothing but bad things about reverse LEDs.......horrible light output and overrall crappy quality
the license plate bulb size is 194......the stock setup works because it reflects the light from a light bulb......you could probably find an LED that is angled and use it

Even with regular bulbs, there is absolutely no level of output for "visibility." These function fine as indicators. These are bright enough, especially compared to how dim and yellowed the original bulbs had become. For $10/pair, I can't bitch.

Ok, silverstars are not regular bulbs. More importantly, reverse lights ( on these cars, in the USA) are only intended to be indicators. We clearly did not have the same LED and you certainly spent more money.

JP talked me into getting the silverstars instead of LEDs a few months ago and they are very bright but if you have tints nothing is going to help..... I take that back because my LED taillights light up everything when i touch the brakes so when im backing up i ride the brake and can see everything
I got the license plate LED though (picture was taken prior to me getting the LED taillights this pic is when i had the stockers tinted)

I had fitment issues with my led bulbs that i bought 4 of so i put 2 up front and 2 in the back and bought the single bulb leds for license plate and the out put sucks.
These are the 4 i bought http://www.ebay.com/itm/2pcs-T10-Wed...ht_2993wt_1344
and this is what i have in lecense plate nowhttp://www.ebay.com/itm/2x-194-T10-1...ht_1381wt_1344
I shouldve went with higher wattage......

LOL the rigid bar would be one mean back up light. But a pair of these would be a good addition for those of us who use our reverse lights in the dark frequently.
