What do u think of these reverse lights?



They look like they will allow more light to shine through the housing than the stock ones.

I wish the refelctor part was red.

I have limo-tint windows and even with 55watts hallogen reverse lights I could still use a little more help.

I thought those were the side markers in the front...or maybe the guy on the ebay auction listed it wrong with the wrong pic. His auction was for those lights, but had them listed as the front side markers...so he screwed up I guess.

The fronts for the original bumper dont have screws. The rear quarter panel ones have 2 screws, the jspec fender ones dont have screws either, reverse lights on the back bumper have 1 screw.

Cool, but not my cup of tea, I dont like the diamond cut look.

Batman/jt-impoorts are right,
they are the rear bumper reverse lights, and they are like 79 bux on ebay if I'm not mistaking.

Personaly I'd think about smoking them before you install'em, they nice.

And yes they are much brighter than the stock ones. I used some purple backup bulbs looks pretty cool to me.

They suck.

The first time I (hand) washed my car one of them leaked and I had moisture inside. Cheap *** ricer junk. The lines on the inside of them were wavey too.

Back they go!

No moisture in mine.......Yet. I hope that doesn't happen to me, moisture in lenses looks really crappy.
I have had mine for several months though.

You jinxed me.
I washed my car before I took the pics. Didn't see any moisture. When back outside a while ago. And guess what moisture. So I must second that, CHEAP *** RICER JUNK !!!!. I took it out a while ago and dryed it out with a hair dryer. I am going to epoxy the seams. maybe that will fix it. But I would not recomment these to anyone. I got mine off e-bay from procarparts. I wish I would have not read this thread I was happy in my ignorant state of mind. but now I am sad. damn you.

Yeah, I kind of like the more modern look. But if they don't work, then they aren't worth the $$.
