LED reverse lights

Did a retro fit on my reverse lights using LED's and they seem really bright. Gonna do taillights soon I'll update with some pics when that gets done in the next few days. So wanted to experiment. Here's a pic of my car and my buddie's s14 he did like 14 leds while i did 8.

No offense, and I know it was a camera phone, but the tail lights don't look so hot. I would definitely prefer to fork out the money for 99spec tail lights.

However, the reverse lights are very cool. I wouldn't mind having my reverse lights like that. Nice job on the reverse lights

they were done on 99 converted lights. I'll have better pics up soon. They look alot better in person though. With the camera phone it picks up alot of the residual light (I dunno what the term is) because the shutter is open longer

White LEDs are slightly blueish.

I was thinking of doing them for people, but I have to become a authorized dealer to advertise. (Which I'm working on)
