The 9 LEDs aren't brighter than the stock bulbs. They do give off a very nice white/blueish color. However, during the day, they're kinda hard to see so just be careful when backing out in sunlight.

omg using HIDs in the reverse would screw up the life of the bulb switching the HIDs on and off while parallel parking.

If you're gonna do a bulb conversion, I suggest using 4114 bulbs. They're the bulbs that GM uses for daytime running lights in the Tahoe/Suburban. Not sure about the light they put out compared to the stock reverse lights, but they're used for DRLs so they should be fairly bright.
