Thumbs up I "saw the light" and it was GOOD!!

Installed a set of 3156 super bright back-up bulbs the other night. I can now see through the rear slider while backing down my hill. A definate improvement over the stock bulbs.

I can't wait till someone comes out with an improvement for the headlights.

Are those a complete lamp assembly or just a replacement bulb?

I just ordered some myself.

Just a small increase in nighttime-reverse visibality is worth it to me. My windows are tinted so its extra hard to see at night while backing up.

Just under $20 shipped. Just do a google search for them, including the part #

Bulb manufacturer is Design Tech. I could not find any locally so I bought them directly from Design Tech. I did see them on E-bay but I didn't want to use Pay PAl.

why not use paypal? It's the same as using a credit card as long as you fund with a CC. Full dispute rights.

"We got hosed tommy. We got hosed"

I just installed those bulbs in my garage. I installed one, then put the truck in reverse with the parking brake on. I got out and looked at the difference. There is virtually ZERO difference in the bulbs.

I went ahead and installed the other. There might be a .0001% increase in light output.

I guess I had my hopes set too high. O well.

I bought the exact one above. Maybe my expectations were too high, but there really isnt much difference at all (if any) between the two bulbs.

I would not recommend anyone ot buy these.
