thats sweet, they look kinda like floods, that gives me some good ideas! hmmm

Hey there Mr.I think that's a repost,but it's still cool to see again.

you guys think two floods would give me something like that? i can see $#!t when i back up

lol Honestly tho if you really want bright, hid pnp is the only way

Cool product but I'm not really jiving with the plastic lens that is then permanently attached to the back of your car . I wonder how the coverage would be if 3 LEDs were each mounted in my stock back-up light position instead of the six in that band .

It is just 6 Cree XRE's. There is really nothing special about the set up other than there being a plastic lens to make it water tight. Hopefully they were smart enough to give it at least some metal to dissipate heat on and made the circuit to be current regulated.


I use 48 Cree XRE's to light my room.

I bought two 55 watt halogen bulbs that go in my backup lights .... Galls sells them for police cruisers...Those are bright but I've been cautious to not leave them on too long for fear of melting the plastic lenses

I've done a somewhat similar mod on my Element. I replaced the weak ass factory 18 watt 921 bulbs for 38 watt 894 halogen fog light bulbs. I had to cut/remove the plastic base to get to the metal tangs,so I could bend/fold them over to fit in my sockets.I could of went with 55 watt fog light bulbs,but since my E' has a pretty decent reverse reflector,I felt it wasn't needed.The bulb upgrade made quite a huge improvement in light output.




^^Oh and since I also had installed a reverse camera with infrared l.e.d.s I really have no problem seeing what's actually behind my vehicle.

Here is the led used in the frames.



Yes, it is bright.

yeah i may just end up buying this because i have no reverse lights on my caprice right now because of the nightshade thanks for posting

I think that is the WORST solder job of a surface mount LED that I have ever seen!

That whole piece is the a good example of cheaply pooped out electronics...
