Not worth it. Not sure which ones the previous owner installed, but that did dick for lighting, so I installed some different higher power directed beam LEDs and now my drivers side reverse bulb will not stay in for longer than a week. Its a pain in the dick to get the bulb back out also

I actually have rear led back up.lights. I think 1 is out. I bought them from a company in canada. Mad money in shipping. I initially bought the leds for.the map lights. They were great. They send me 3 extra leds for my 3rd brake light for free. 1 was DOA. So I used them in my reverse lights.

If you guys want map lights. Look into morimoto T10 bulbs. It's updated with a resistor and pretty bright. I have the old style and like em a lot. They are like 20$ right now but can't beat the warranty.

ya mine are LED as well. but ive never seen them in action so idk how they look really. just read mixed reviews on them as reverse lights being actually "brighter" than incandescent.... the cool white looks better but probably isnt brighter to be honest. lol my trunk led lights are bright as **** though
