So I ordered the CREE super bright LED reverse bulbs and with our tailight design, the led actually reflects off of a mirror and then lights up the rear. Also our lense breaks up the light a tid bid also.

Now, my question is. Do the aftermarket LED tails position the bulb to shine directly outward?

If not, has anyone cut the housing up to reposition the bulb to shine directly out instead of reflect?

These things are bright as hell dont get me wrong, but i think they have a bit more potential.

thoughts?

The reverse lights? they use a 7440. Do you have LED tails or something? does it shine directly out?

the reverse light uses a 921 bulb.

Ye for the LED tails the reverse bulb is a 921 which is pretty bright compared to the stock bulb, helps me out in the dark because my windows have 20% tint

does the LED taillight reverse light position shine directly outwards is what im asking? If so I'm going to return the 7440 bulb for the 921 and buy the LEDS tails if thats the case

If you put a LED in the reverse light it will not be as bright as a halogen bulb.

stop thread jacking.

My question still hasnt even been touched. Has anyone repositioned there reverse lights to shine directly outward rather then reflect outward?

As for halogen vs led. The LED's i have shine in one direction and are extremely bright.

here they arein action. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nL0oI...layer_embedded




I was thinking about cutting 2 identical holes. one where i would reposition the socket and housing and the other where the existing one is. I would swap and glue them into place and boom now it shines directly out rather getting reflected... ideas?

I'll answer for probably all. No. Noone would do a senseless mod when there are plenty other options available and better.

This one comes with 6 cree bulbs already installed.
