Thanks a lot! Just thought might as well get a pair for the roadlamps. Any idea what the size is for that?

with my experience with the LED tails they don't shine up the surroundings much. so if its late at night and you put your car in reverse the reverse lights doesnt shine anything up. its bright as hell though but it just doesnt shine downwards. i have both the 15LED bulb and the 3 high powered LED one. you would be better off buying those polarg bulbs

I put them in mine. 7440 15led

I honestly can't see them light up at night. I know they are on & work, but I think the standard bulbs work better.
Although I do have 15% tint.

I don't think oem LED tails even have LED reverse lights do they? The brightness of LED tech (especially white) just isn't at the point where it's functional yet...

They are certainly bright enough. The problem is in the optics. The housings need to be designed to work with the LED's.

They still look great to anyone looking at them from behind.

LOL same here! Eh, I put in the piaa hyper whites in and the only difference was probably the white look, which is why im taking it out. I also have 15% tints and my tails are tinited too. Im pretty sure the LEDs will go through.
