so i upgraded my OEM bulbs to PIAA reverse lights but the amount of light that is emitted from the PIAA's arent enough (for my liking) can anyone suggest some hella birght reverse lights? TIA

 

VLEDs found on eBay are white and bright. I did that mod for my license plate lights and am very satisfied. Not sure how the reverse lights will look though.

 

Vleds, when I back out, people stare in amazement, instead of moving out of my way... So it has it disadvantages, lol

 

Fantastic! Are these the correct ones (fitment wise)?

This is what I did to get brighter backup lights for my '06 Pilot and my '08 TL-S. I have had both in for about a year with no problems and very bright back up lights.

 

Put HID's in them....

 

So you went with the 885's for the TLS-S too? Interesting........

 

superbrightleds.com

12 white leds = perfect!!

been running them for over a year now and its the best cheap mod i ever did.
plus i have them all around my car. no problems!!

 

how easy is it to replace the reverse lights?

 

Thank you...

You guys are installing little LEDs that only seem bright but don't really light up the road behind you for the Night time camera action...

Put some real HIDs back there... and then y'all know what bright really is...

 

HAHA you want BRIGHT?? HIDs!!! You think I am joking?? Rodney has em, I SWEAR! You never seen anything like them. Basically they are headlights for the back of your car, lol! DO IT!

 

how is the install? where are these kits purchased? and further more, what is the cost? it truely boils down to

 

how do you access the reverse lights?

 

Will the extra brightness distort the rear view cam view?
Glare?

 

open your trunk pop out the rubber bump stops (2), remove the plastic clips (not all of them, just enough to pull back liner) with a flat head screw driver or knife, pull back the liner and ta-da. access to both the license plate and reverse light bulbs.

 

HID that bitch!

i still havent done mine, but i have my H3 kit here chillin which ma dude Rodney will install soon very soon

 

ABP- you weren't kidding about that shit was you. Bro i thought you was joking aboutt them and the cold had gotten to you when we was installing them CCFLS. Reverse HID's! LMAO

where the pics at?

 

No, but really bright license plate lights do kill the night camera visibility. My rear view camera works better at night before I switch on my lights

 

 

^^^^^^^^^ exactly. im going to switch back to OEM bulbs until i figure out what im going to do......

 

Lol told u lol

dont worry i got u as soon as we get them installed
Maybe even hit u up so u can roll wit us or wateva

 

Once you figure out what you're going to do, come to the meet in March and show them off.

 

oh yea? not much to show off man, i was really into the modding scene prior to this car not so much with a luxury car. hell, i may just leave them stock due to the actual increased visability, to hell with looks lol.

 

^You can still come to the meet

 

Here's some pics of the VLED swap I did. Notice how bright the light is and how it hits my lower bumper in the night shot. Although you can't see in these pics, the light also hits the ground. I wish I could drive behind my car so I can stare at this.

White LED License Plate
V-LED, 5LED configuration, there are more LED ones


Left is LED, Right is stock bulb. Notice the white vs. yellow color.


Night shot.


They are very bright and it's a very simple swap of the bulb. No messing with electrical.

 

Let me know when you gonna do it. you know im still on vacation so i be home all day. hit me up.

oh and i got my switchbacks in yesterday!!! looks sick!!
48 LED and i left it without the load resistors so it'll blink fast

 

HID pics!

 

I use these, try them out you won't be disappointed. Very bright.

^ thanks a lot guys...nobody could have told me this last week when I ordered my switchbacks from vleds? Now I have to pay shipping again cuz u know i gotta have these!!

 

you are using these for your reverse lights or license plate? im going to be changing my license plate bulbs also.

 

^
I'm using those for my reverse lights.

I'm using these for my license plate bulbs. Again, very bright, clean hyper white look.

nice! do you happen to have pics of both the reverse and license plate bulbs? id like to see how they go together. i was thinking of going 5 LED (ya think thats too bright)?

 

I don't think the 5 LED will be as bright as the license plate lights. If you read up on the design of the licence plate lights, they have a full 180 degree light output which is perfect for coverage of your license plate. If you really want something bright, check out the cold cathode DIY mod. That's probably the brightest option but requires a little work to install. These bulbs are just plug and play.

 

But dont the 5 led's appear to be the same as the stock lights or is it just me? Shouldnt they accomplish the same thing as the stock lights but a little better?

 

agreed (on what Rodney said)

Go for the real deal:



Leave those reverse leds for your childrens' toy cars

o yea and merry christmas ppl lol : http://www.ddmtuning.com/hidkihidbuhi.html

 

885's.... Hmmmm there is part of me that wants to do it, there is part that thinks that it would be bad to melt the back of my car. Is there a thermal-couple that I can sneak in there so it wont melt the lens. Or is this not necessary?

 

Wow!!! Which lights are those on that link you have there? Those are crazy bright!

 

I have had them in my wife's Honda Pilot for 2 years and in my 08 TL-S for about 6 months. They are only on for a few minutes at the most. Not enough time to generate enough heat to melt anything.

 

un-called for overkill!
