    I want brighter and crisper reverse lights. Is an led kit a good choice? 700 lumen?

    Check out this thread. Read the WHOLE thing first before doing the mod. This mod has been done by a ton of 2nd gen. guys, but there are some 1st gen. guys that have done it too without issue.

    I did a variation of the mod and used the GY6.35 bulb from Home Depot. Much brighter than stock, and cheaper than LED's.

    You'll also find a lot of people not happy with their LED reverse lights. While they appear to be brighter because of the whiter light, they typically fall short of actual light output.
