    I put the 50 watt in and I will be watching them now that you brought up the trail reversing thing... I do that more often than you'd think... Thinking about putting in a switch to turn them off in situations like this.

    On the road not so much, on mountain trails if you encounter "traffic" you may well find yourself backing for a significant amount of time (and during the day, might not even notice if a back-up light goes tits-up on you in the process)

    I bought those a week ago but haven't installed them yet because I'm waiting for a shipment from jumper LEDs. I talked to 2 different guys at Home Depot about those and they should run cooler than any 35 watt bulb.

    Did this yesterday. 35 Watts from eBay. 10 pack for about 6 bucks. Broke one while trying to snip off 1/8". Two went in without issue. Looks good so far. Nice and bright. I now have seven spares.

    From eBay: Pack of 10, Ultra Halogen Bi-Pin 12V Volt Replacement Bulb (G4, G5.3, GY6.35) (111768611496)

    The FEIT ones are 595 Lumes, Phillips Eco's 750. What are the stock bulb lumes?

    Yup. I ordered four a couple days before they changed the website. Looked to me like HD was Philip's only retailer for that bulb.

    Can anyone else who has been running the 886 bulbs chime in? We've seen two issues with charring/melting but haven't heard from anyone else who has been running them for a considerable time period. I put 886 bulbs in this afternoon and will probably order the GY6.35 35w bulbs based on what I've seen here.
