well i put the LEDs in my reverse lights. Ivé seen people say that you need a different bulb besides the ones that fit in the trunk,map and license plate, but i used 194 and it fit perfect. The reverse lights aren't that bright, but they look better than the stock ones.

I didn't buy them from superbrightleds. I didn't intend to put them in the reverse lights. They are bright in the interior and license plate. I had extra so I decided to put them in the tail lights. I would have bought more expensive/brighter ones if I bought them strictly for the reverse lights. I got them on eBay. 10 of them for $9

ah ok i wasnt sure, i was contemplating buying them for my tails but i just cant justify paying the money for bulbs lol im never gonna see them anyway :p i did buy a 9 LED dome light bulb in warm white, they are really nice for inside the car. Had all warm white LED's in my integra and they illuminate the car really nicely without that ricer look.

Well the one you bought is probably better lol. But I'm satisfied with the output they give in the interior and in the license plate. I didn't really care to have them in the reverse lights I just had some extra bulbs.

The reverse light bulbs on superbrightleds are about $4-$6 each and I'm sure they will look much brighter than these.

Well it is bright, its for my license plate, still not sure why I spent 10 bucks for a light bulb, kinda did seem spendy, I guess I wanted the HidWerks.com stickers lol . But more then likely I will go buy some off of ebay for my interior.

I could start a 100 page thread on oil and oil filters, but i have had the argument so many times to know its a futile effort. lol people will buy what is marketed the best or whatever brand oil gives them the most placebo effect. Dont get me started on API standards and ratings.

I know what your saying lol. Oil is oil. On most of my cars ive changed oil on I usually use Mobil 1 due to, that's what most Gm cars on the oil cap say to use, unless it was one of my beater cars, ( then I just use Walmart Brand Supertech synthetic ) . But I was gonna get Mobil 1, got to walmart, they were out of mobil 1 5-30- and 10-30 lol So I saw Jeff Gordon on Qukerstate and said ill give them a try ( plus it was one of the cheaper oils ) lol

i run the T6 primarily because its the only shelf brand API SM certified oil you can still get, mainly because its a lightweight diesel grade oil. The subaru guys swear by it because of how sheer stable it is being designed for turbo use. The 5w40 weight and 21.50 for 4 quarts being a full synthetic oil are just a bonus. Blackstone lab tests have shown it being remarkably clean after 8000 miles compared to mobil 1. The purolator filters, just because they used to be the cheapest highest filtration filter you can get, but the price of oil filters has gone up dramatically.
