Swapped out my reverse bulbs for LEDs I know it's been done a lot but I wanted to show mine off. It's a little difficult to get in a picture, but in person they look great!

Got mine from Super Bright LEDs, part number is 3157-WLX3-DI 3157 Cool White
Kinda disappointed with how dim the license plate LED is though.

Tip! If you buy from Superbrights for Camaro, don't order the 26 smd towers! They're over sized for that location and won't fit even though it doesn't say so on the site.
They're 66.1mm overall length, go with anything less than 60mm and it should fit.

Hey man, I sent you a PM with the link. But the kind I got was a 54-SMD light, bulb is 3157. xBrandon's lights look more white than mine, so maybe ask what we got too! Looks sick! Very, very nice Brandon!
Do they actually provide more light output.. As when youre in the car trying to back up can you see more?
Lot of led in reverse look good but aren't even as bright as stock.

They are pretty bright, I didn't take a comparison picture between the two but when I looked at them, the led shined a bit further. I back out of a dark driveway often and it lights up the way nicely.
Am I the only one that thinks the light output from the factory bulb looks better in the first pictures of the OP? Yeah, it may seem brighter in a side by side, but if you look at the ground, you can easily see the yellowish color fills the ground better. I think, personally, it's maybe the color you went with...too blue.
xBrandonx's pictures look like a better color to choose. More of a white color, then blue.
Just my opinion.

This is one of those small changes, that when you see in person on any car that came with regular bulbs makes a gigantic difference IMO. It makes any older car look so much modern, and gives it a clean feel to me.
