Spyder tail assemblies- 1156 led bulb replacement comparisons

Omg dude.. didn't any bother reading all that. Lol. Not be rude or anything, but don't understand the need for all that when the electronic flasher for a whole $13 does the job just fine. And it's never given me problems for 2+ years now. And don't expect it to fail anytime soon. If it does, I'll gladly pay $13 again to buy a new one vs going through all that hassle modifying the stock one

Edit: I see now you said the same thing in previous post. Ha. Surprised you went through all that to begin with though, lol.

 

That's what my wife said.

 

anyone tried these?

$30 JDM ASTAR Extremely Bright Max 50W High Power 1156 7506 LED Light Bulbs for Back Up Reverse Lights, Xenon White

I've seen those and wondered myself! Kinda pricey tho. I'd be interested in seeing a review/comparison on those. I kinda wanna replace my reverse lights. Not sure though because that could go towards my 8" led light bars for reverse lighting, heh.

Get em!! Post yer review or whatever on here if u want. Help keep em all compiled.

 

I went ahead and ordered them. Also got the corner LED bulbs too. I just got the white versions for my license plate lights. They are very bright.

 

Nice. I'm using one of these for my license plate.

Drilled a couple tiny holes on the top of license plate itself and mounted it. Works awesome.

 

Got them installed. They flicker a bit, and one of them seems to have some electrical "leakage". The problem likely is because of this shitty trailer harness and the high wattage of these LEDs. The driver one blinks opposite to the driver turn signal when it's on, and both blink a little dimmer when the other one is on. They also both get a little dimmer when the brakes are applied. No biggie, especially since I'll never be in reverse and have the signals blinking at the same time.

They didn't look brighter to me at first compared to my previous LED reverse lamps, but when backing up, I could see objects a lot better than before. What once was a mysterious object is now a "faint" object through my 15% rear tint (5% after factoring in the factory tint).

Time will tell if these bulbs hold up, but they're a 100% improvement over my other LED reverse lamps.

Old LEDs (I think they were 92 SMD or something ridiculous)


New ones:




On (through 5% combined tint)


Off (keep in mind there is a fairly bright LED flood light by my apt building... Ineffective with my tint):


Windows down, looking through mirror:



I'll try to get some better shots in a darker environment later.

Has anyone else had problems with LED reverse lights flickering? My old pair did this too, but not as bad as these. Maybe it's my trailer harness?

 

Some more pics. Tried to get the lighting as accurate as possible.





Farther away:

Hm. Not sure man. I haven't tried many led reverse lights. Just had the same ones I put in 3+ years ago and nothing like that. But yeah, they seem pretty reliant on getting enough power, sounds like. I think mine are 15 watt. Or 25. Hell I don't remember. Ha. But if they work better than what you had, then it's an improvement nonetheless I guess.

 

I'm thinking it may be my trailer harness. Only reason being because my turn signals make my reverse lights go nuts. Seems fishy
