Its your car and your decision, but I will suggest against Cree bulbs if you have a backup camera. I bought a pair of 5w Cree off ebay a couple of weeks ago. They looked fantastic if you were looking at the light, but from inside the car or looking at the backup camera screen, they were terrible. They were just lightening a spot. I went back to the OEM lights the next day and gave my Cree away. They were almost exactly as the MoAbbas's link, but from a different seller and a little more expensive.

Hope this helps. Thanks.

You never know, may be you will like them, or may be you got them from someone who got them right. Mine were just not focused probably. I should have taken the pictures of them just to show how odd they looked. Oh well... lets us know how your Crees look like. Did you buy them from ebay too?

the cree's i posted the link for work great for me. really bright. my friend was stopped behind me on a red light, so i put the car in reverse, he gave me a call, calling me a douche for trying to blind him. i'll see if i can take shots of them on, need another driver in the car or taking pics. i rarely let ppl touch my car thou...... maybe i am a douche.
