I have interior leds in my truck. As I was looking through Ebay for them I saw numerous vendors that sell LEDs for reverse lights. Has anone tried LEDs in their reverse lights? Do they make a difference?
Thanks

The Recon bulbs are not cheap. $40 for two bulbs that would replace my puddle lights.
It's a reverse bulb......not a tail light....
The op could also take a look at getting the vled v3 triton...... http://www.v-leds.com/page/V3TRITON.html
And? 22 watts of is a lot of heat to dissipate. LEDs do not tolerate much heat before they fail. I've got a heat sink the size of my fist to dissipate 15 watts in open air. Besides, a 22 watt LED should be able to produce over 1600 lumens easily using any decent LED. It may be using LEDs that can handle a total of 22 watts, but there is no way they are drawing that much. Besides, drawing any more than 17 watts and you lose all the benefits of switching to LEDs in the first place, and that is the lower current draw. The ONLY good way to switch to LEDs is to use custom emitters or arrays that can focus the light where you want it, or do not rely on the optics of the tail light and can take up more space than the bulb to accommodate heat sinking.
Then they should just install a 25w hid kit with a delay timer....
I'm just saying there's other options out there that do work....they can cost more but they work....Why would I do something stupid like that? Like I alluded to in my previous post, your stock bulb only draws 17-21 watts. Why would you switch to LEDs if you are not saving electricity?
