ok I found the pics of the packaging of the ones I have inside.

i never ordered any of their switchbacks. these reverse lights have been on my car for a good 3 years iirc. Im not saying they dont suck, I just never had a problem with them.

^^^ yeah a ton of members have add problems with switchbacks and they seem not to work so well with your after couple times....

I ordered all my interior lighting from superbrightleds dot com and damn 5 years later ALL the leds WORK like DAY ONE

I have heard great things about VLEDS as well...just a word of caution am putting out...

yeah I agree. i think thats one reason I never decided to do switchbacks. too many failures. the stock ones work fine for me. the only exterior light upgrades I did without issues were HIDs on the OEM fogs and the Accord fogs, LEDs on the license plate lights and reverse lights and thats pretty much it.

maybe one day if they sort out the switchbacks to be a pure plug-and-play like the interior lights then I probably would go there

sixsixfour, your pics are over exposed like a mother, IMHO. I have the SAME 194 LEDs throughout my car interior and they aren't NEARLY as bright. Don't get me wrong, you're a goddamn artist when it comes to capturing amazing pics, but I'm having a real hard time buying your reverses is that bright

hate to break it to you bro, but they arent overexposed. if anything, they are actually underexposed. the histogram doesnt lie:

the socket on the interior ones are 194 but the LED boards are 24 high-power LEDs. you can ask any local member whose seen my car. its extremely bright in there.

i try and take these pics as close to actual brightness whenever I can. ive seen people drag the shutter speed to expose more light. what you see is pretty much what they look in real life.

Well, maybe mine are an older, less powerful pair. Your back-ups looks great.

Again, your prowess with the DLSR never ceases to impress!
