I just installed a set of Cree 5watt LED reverse lights and wow! :shock:

If anyone likes to see behind them in the dark I recommend these.
3156 3056 3157 3057 3457 4157 T20 5W CREE LED Reverse Wedge Bulbs - Retro-Solutions Store

They are roughly $40 for a pair with $2-$3 shipping but are definately worth it for the person who doesn't want aux. lighting hanging off the back of their vehicle!

Not sure on these 5w CREEs...

But...

No mods needed unless you use them for the blinkers.

I wonder how these would stack up?

The super brite ones are 220 Lumens

a 22 watt LED would put out 1320 lumens , at 60 lumens to a watt, an low end rating for a LED normally somewhere between 60 and 80 lumens per watt
