I’ve had better luck with Sylvania Zevo lights than others. I had some no-name lights for corner markers and license plate and they flickered after a few days. Zevo have worked better for me. Remember to get colors that match the color of your lens. You can put a clear halogen behind an amber lens and it will look yellow. White LED will end up looking green. White LED behind red looks pink.

I recently put them on mine. Great light spread with a very nice cutoff in the stock housings. No issues with being flashed at this point!

I'm not trying to be a wise guy here, but did you flip the orientation on them and try again? If I remember correctly I had to do that someplace on the truck. Plugged in the bulb and it didn't work. Spun the base the other way and it was good.

The 3157 bulbs will work in the tail lights but not the reverse lights.
The 7440 bulbs are what you need for the reverse lights.

I did something similar. Also wound up using them in a few spots on my Pontiac Torrent beater.

Returns or substandard merchandise can be a pain to deal with on ebay. Amazon is generally a breeze, with no or very few questions asked and fast results.

Hey look guys! I found the one guy that's never used Amazon!

Haha, just joking with ya, but ya, that's crazy, you've never bought something off Amazon? That's pretty much the only place I buy anything anymore....even my groceries. Shopping in your underwear is the best. My local grocery store didnt agree, so screw em.

Brand new Amazon account! Ice Cream Guy your life will never be the same lol. For reverse lights I use the JDM 1200's as well. Not the shock & Awe you may be dreaming of but certainly brighter than stock halogen. They do a good job.
