Default Reverse LED Lights

So, i know a few of you are interested in tinting your reverse and tail lights and what not, and your curious about how much light output there will be from reverse lights when tinted.

here's a pic to give you a reasonable idea, i honestly cant see when backing out of the driveway but you can see it does put out a decent amount of light.

They look cool, but I couldn't deal with not being able to see.

they sell nice lights at zzp.

i got some silerstar ultras froma autozone to try and make up for the tinting.


dont get me wrong the tinting cleans up the butt, but i dont recomend tinting them to anyone that uses the reverse gear at night.

im pretty sure they are, they are at least silverstars. im sure they'd be brighter then stock for sure. i just cant tell cause i tinted the housings. i think im gonna go back to the LED's i had in there. i like the color better than the siverstars, and with about 20% light output anyways, it really doesnt matter how much they light up the night.
