LED Reverse Lights
Not sure if there was already a thread started on this. I had some trouble finding a definite answer/thread to this myself so I was thinking this would be helpful to some, if it's already up, mods just delete this post! But the bulb size for the reverse lights is
194 T10 I've been informed that 921 T15 bulbs will also fit/brighter
These are what I got today, from ijdmtoy.com

If anyone wants I could do some night shots later on.

Not surprised T10 works fine for the OP as the connector is the same as T16. However, it is a surprise to see it still looks bright enough.
I have LED T16 for reverse light in my 3IS. When choosing LED for reverse light, I find due to the narrow "window" of the reverse light enclosure in 3IS, it is more ideal to use a LED light bulb which has as many SMDs in the front facing direction as possible. I had another T16 PIAA reverse LED light that I used in my previous 2IS and found it not as bright when in 3IS. So I bought another one with a different design and it works much better.
FYI, the highest lumens a reverse LED light (T16, T20, S25) could emit that I come across is 500lm which is a claim from IPF. Typically a reverse LED light (T16, T20, S25) nowadays has 150lm - 300 lm.
Again, high lumens doesn't necessarily guarantee good result due to the location of the SMDs on the light bulb. It really depends on the enclosure of the reverse light for a particular vehicle.
