Sylvania Silverstar reverse bulbs are awesome. Look into 'em. I don't think you'd regret it.

I've got those and love them. I had LED reverse lights, looked ok, but not practical at all.

LEDs appear brighter, but the output on the ones I had was awful. The SilverStars are brighter than stock, but with 20% on the back it's hard to see regardless.

eBay. Beware as our housings (license plate light and reverse light) are very restricted.

Check out the appearance section over at GPONA.

V-Leds! I have bought all my stuff from there, if you catch it at the right time, you can get close to 30% off of stuff. They have sales all the time, along with sending coupon codes out like crazy. I have all my interior/reverse/plate lights done so far. Next is the signals and parking lights, but those are the expensive ones. The rest isnt bad priced actually.

I think when the site went done some posts were lost. I remember your post and some others on other threads that are gone.

My post is gone as well. It basically stated that you can use 3457's in the reverse lights. I'm sure the rear lights are 3157's. The 3457's will be brighter. I had LEDs in my grand prix's reverse lights and although they looked nice the light output was nothing compared to the halogens. I am using 3457's in mine with no issues.
