Gy6.35 HIR 921 reverse light upgrade (vs high power LEDs)

Let me know how yours come out. I’ll be doing mine next weekend. Now I need to find a good set of interior LED’s and tag lights

 

LOL! Even I haven’t tried that strategy!

Careful on the plate lights, it is pretty common when swapping to LEDs to get glare into the reverse camera making it harder to see.

 

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll keep that in mind and look out for that

 

Lights came today and boy do those little boxes take a beating. I'll get to install them this weekend though.

 

Mine came today also, but my wife had plans to go to the store, hey got a 12 pack of Bud light out of the deal



I have mine ready to install tomorrow.

 

They look good!

 

thanks, looks like the soft music worked. it took a bit to get them bent the way I want. add me to your traveling beer list.

 

I'll do my bend tomorrow while working and we all expect to hear your results tomorrow

 

yes two sets of needle nose pliers works best, have one on one of the prongs coming off the glass then use the other pliers to bend, take your time. then move to the next prong. Have plenty of light. IMO

 

perfect. im working from home tomorrow so that will be the morning project. your boxes look 10x better than mine. i think someone set on the envelope in the mail truck

 

Yes the packing was great on my end. Good luck with your project and let us know how it works out.

 

Done. Not quite as good as yours but hopefully it’s enough.

 

looks good to me, great job

 

are you Installing yours this evening

 

As soon as I get home, cut grass, bs with the wife then the install starts

 

I am not sure if it was lost somewhere in the thread, but an alternative to the tricky bending of the bulb prongs is to gently pry out the metal pieces that hold the bulb in place within the bulb holder. That was the route I took and mine have worked fine since installing 8 months or so ago?

 

i just finished cutting grass... we are waiting for those night time pics

@ACEkraut I will probably bend those as well to make sure there is a good solid connection

I did it this way. Easy and secure.

 

Not a great picture but indeed a lot brighter, I also had to play around with the 921 socket to get bulb more secure
