I got the reverse lights and the LED plate lights. Just installed. Will update with night pics later. The install is very simple except the reverse polarity which had me redo the plate lights lol. They definitely seem brighter... of course hard to tell in the daylight.
The reverse lights are interesting. Not sure exactly what they are. LEDs with some other piece on the dangle. Someone maybe explain it to me?
The plate lights are simple LED replacements that can be bought On Amazon for $1.50 each...there is nothing special about them however for what they are the color is cooler and they are brighter than stock. They look nicer because of the color change so I would recommend them for sure. Just for clarification they are just basic LED's probably purchased overseas and resold by Vanquish.
Just in the day light for $45 I can already say they are worth it.... assuming they last a while.
Thanks for the post! The led reverse are CSP from philips. The led license plate are the best that will fit your truck but certainly not the cheap quality you can get from Amazon. If you put them side by side you will notice the Amazon lights will be bluish and not bright compared to these. They will also go bad and start dimming out after just a couple of weeks. We actually got the brightest lights you could put with 835 lumens per bulb but the truck won't allow it because of the lamp size. Brace yourself for those backups at night! Know our lights will keep going without issues for a long time. Thank you for your patience with those backup lights. They are now in stock and ready to rock.
You think you could give these a try? Or someone? 50% off from regular price $25 the set and no you won't find these on amazon or anywhere else than on www.vanquishauto.com, I have a customer coming in soon to our local shop but not sure when. These are brand new on our lineup, these are the ones you would want to have if they fit.
Here are the LED backup lights I bought for $9.99, looks like it has more LED units on it, bright as $ hit! I also bought my LED T10 bulbs for $0.44 each in a 20 pack, still burning strong after a month and if one goes out, I have 19 other spares...I'm happy.
Thx for the clarification as well. Definitely not knocking the LEDs ...they seem really bright(so far in the daylight)
Just for kicks today I removed the two screws that hold in place the tail light assembly. It didn't come free and I wasn't about to start muscling it. Is there a secret to popping it out of it's setting without doing any damage? Was considering these reverse lights and license plate so your input is welcomed as well as some night time pictures.

That's good for you and common sense says more leds is better, and size is also bigger than ours let alone the price is way cheaper. Also common says say you would normally wouldn't drive in reverse but you could do that with our lights lol
more chipsets won't really mean they are brighter. In fact not even the size. If you were to say those lights are brighter because they are also 5 times bigger than ours well...
here is what matters, type of chip, heat sink, power, lumens and most importantly corrected beam pattern. The lights you bought are maybe 3w? These are 45w, your bulbs sticks out from the reflector bucket so it's not giving you any usable light. It's bright from steps away and it will warn other people very wall but won't do much for you. That's just a bulb you can fit in, these are bulbs you can use to back up.

Could you post a picture of the owner's manual where you have a list of the lights they have? You can also see all the lights the truck takes and what type of lights they need. I can help you better with that info.

Babble....maybe 3W? is that a statement? Or do you know for sure...."warn other people very wall but won't do much for you" do you even read what you write?
As I back out each morning, they shine all the way up to the top story of the house behind me, which warns them as they sleep, haha.....pretty useable light even though they are out of the light bucket.

No secret.... it pops out at about a 45degree angle. There are 2 spike looking clips that just pop out with friction.

How are the Auxbeams working ? I have a set sitting here waiting to go in

They work great! All four for like $100, not bad. People have had problems with them flickering, but no problems here burning strong after about 1.5 months.
I made the mistake of buying LED's from Amazon. What a waste of money and time. They start out great and then do the "old soldier thing". They just fade away...

$79 for LED headlights???? That's awesome. I don't care so much about overall light output as I'm 99.9% city driving with street lights... but I'd like the color to be cooler like my LED light bars
