Currently using these from VLEDs and want something brighter.

http://www.vleds.com/shop-bulb-numbe...79-1-pair.html

I only paid $39 at the time (or was it $35?) and they were listed at 370 lumens.

It's the same part # (I checked my invoice) but now it costs $45 and is advertised at 500 lumens (I don't believe it)

I was looking on eBay for alternative reverse lights that costs less than $35 and came across these .

Anyone have any better brighter/quality options? VLEDs quality never let me down, I just want something brighter.

I have a back-up camera and would like a reverse light that is also side-emitting. I had a CREE LED reverse light at once and hated it. It casted a giant white hot spot in the center of the back-up camera display because it's a focused beam of light rather than evenly lighting up the ground.

 

I installed a reverse LED from ijdmtoy.com. So impressed with the price and performance that I just ordered another set for my other vehicle. This is what I got:

10-326 360-degee Extreme Bright Plasma High Power Error Free 168 194 2825 W5W 912 921 906 T15 LED Bulbs $19.99

The $19.99 is for one package with TWO bulbs. I don't have a backup camera so I don't know how these bulbs work for that- all I can say is they are bright!! Just checked and they are 500 lumen.

There's a 10% off discount code this month too: GoJDM

 

I have these from ijdmtoy and i couldnt be happier with them.

The difference atleast to me was right away i have a reverse camera and i could see alot more. Mainly in darker areas. The color output its real nice too.

 

I got those same bulbs from Amazon. I love them. They are plenty bright, and light up the way for my camera pretty good.

 

Putting in an order today on these

 

^^those of you with the ijdm lights have any pics to post??

And also would these work for the license plate lights as well???

Thanks

 

I don't understand how much more brighter can you go? V-Leds is bright enough. I currently run the VLEDs 5K that you mention and I mean those things are bright.. I had my few share of LED bulbs and nothing compares to VLEDs.. Anything else I would think is garbage.. IMO.

 

I have the samsung ones and they are amazing! Here are the phone pics:

 

I haven't tried to use these for license plate lights, but they are twice as long as the bulbs that are supposed to go in there, so I don't think it would work. The ones I have for mine are these.

If I get a chance, I'll take a picture of my reverse lights so you can get an idea.

 

Did you forget to post a link or were you referring to the ijdmtoy plasmas?

 

They look good. Any pictures of how they illuminate on your back up camera display?

Also are those the eBay Samsung ones I linked in the 1st post or are yours different?

 

No, I was just stating that I was ordering these today> 10-326 360-degee Extreme Bright Plasma.

I can't stand the OEM ones. And those look nice above!

 

These are the 1st option from 1st post. I don't have a picture of a backup camera but I can do it tonight. There is a lot more light compare to stock bulbs.

 

how long have you had them?
$15 is cheap!

 

I got a similar projection bulb as the ones listed above on amazon:


Worth every penny and superrr bright

 

I got these: http://store.ijdmtoy.com/mobile/Prod...uctCode=10-319

They kinda look like the samsung ones. I have a backup camera and it illuminates pretty evenly

 

Probably about 3 months.

 

hey kocky what bulbs did you use for your license plate bulbs?

 

Here is what I have:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Xenon-White-360-13-SMD-168-194-2825-LED-Bulbs-For-Car-License-Plate-Lights-/131082477504?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Year%3A2007%7CMake%3AAcura%7CModel%3ATL&hash=item1e851fdfc0&vxp=mtr

 

I just put the vled 921s in last week and I think they're perfect. Content with my purchase

 

go to auto zone and get Sylvania LED's

after 3 sets of license plate lights, these are the best fitting(snug) lights i've come across...

and i've even had more expensive bulbs (super illuminations) that gave me flicker.

The sylvanias fit snug, like OEM bulb. very happy

 

^^got any pics of the Sylvanias by chance??

 

I have a set of these that i put on, they're super bright but very concentrated/didn't fill the housing since it's just front facing. I wanted more spread so i changed to some 360 style VLEDs, they're okay too, but those ijdm ones look interesting...

Edit: I just found out the ones i have are the same as OP, lol

Here's a pic of the JLC's vs the VLEDs that i got afterwards..

VLEDS on the left, JLC on the right

 

no, sorry.

But they are plenty bright, and look fantastic.
very happy with them...

 

just bought the iJdm reverse bulbs... $22 shipped

 

These are from ijdmtoy

http://store.ijdmtoy.com/Plasma-High...s-p/10-326.htm

 

vietxquangstah, whatever bulb you upgrade to, please do a comparison shot for me =)

I have the same VLED bulbs as you and I'm curious to see which is brighter.

 

GOOSE has the same bulbs I have, so that should give you an idea. They fill the chamber with light just like the VLED bulbs do, and thus give you plenty of light for the camera just in general.

 

Here's mines.. V-LEDS 5K.. In case anyone wants to know how the V-LEDS look like... Personally they're really bright..

 

How hard is it to install these bulbs into the reverse and license plate lights??

 

Not hard at all.

It requires removing the trunk lining which is held in place by like 10 clips. Just use a Philips head to remove the clips and take the trunk lining off than you'll have access to the license plate and reverse lights

 

Installing the reverse lights are super easy. It doesn't even require an explanation.

Installing the license plate lights are a bit more difficult. The sockets for the bulbs are supposed to be removed so that you can quickly change the bulbs out. You might get lucky, or you might be there for a while trying to get it out. There are two tabs on the sides that you're supposed to push in to pull it, but it's very hard to push both at the same time. Also, the tabs can break pretty easily, especially for their age. IIRC they cost $4 each, so they are easily replaceable.

For both, you need to pull back the trunk liner.

 

Just installed my IJDMTOY reverse lights. They are noticably brighter and I like the color way better.

^^^nice!
i installed mine last week, as well
love them!

 

https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-photograph-gallery-96/made-some-new-led-reverse-lights-908185/

Cost me about $25, and a few hours. I upped them a bit. So, they're probably putting out about 1200lu now.

 

I got the "samsung chip" one for $10 and it's bright enough for me.

 

I just got the projector style like those JLC bulbs and it's very concentrated. Might move them to my license plate lights or courtesy door lights.

Thinking of picking up another projector bulb set with the LEDs on the side of them to illuminate it even better. iJDMtoy ones look pretty nice.

 

Some of these don't look bad. I actually had the 5watt wide angle, but they were way too dim.

http://www.autolumination.com/906.htm

Those 10w Samsung for $25 seems like a good deal or even these 20w leds for $22. They even have 25w starting at $25 a pair, and the lumens range from 750lu-1000lu.

 

Just ordered the iJDM bulbs

 

update:
little over a month later, one of the bulbs literally fell apart inside my reverse light housing. Every time i close my trunk(which i NEVER slam btw) i hear *clink clank clink*...
quality bulbs here.
