LED replacement for 921 backup bulbs

[Fred]

Yes sir it is.... Give those bulbs I told you about and try for yourself.....you'll be content.

Also my tail lights have headlightarrmor on them too, 50% light smoke.... so if no tint, reverse lights should be even brighter.

Just checked... I can't freaking locate my flasher but it's DEFINITELY on driver's side under the dash. I can hear the damn thing clicking but no matter how much I looked I couldn't find or feel it clicking under there. I'm 33 and have my glasses on so it made it hard to look under there every where, but no luck. I actually sounds WAY up there maybe close to signal stalk... I'm hoping someone will chime in and point it out.

Sounds like a pull the dash apart to get to it...I did get the front amber LED #3157 installed no hyper flash...found these for the tails..7443 7440 LED Bulbs Warning Error Free Canceler Decoder Adapters Kit Set | eBay.

Sweet! So you got your fronts to work with no hyper flash! I'm going to bookmark this link for when I do the tails, in case I get issues. I'm sure they're just a resistor setup, but it looks alot cleaner install than just grounding the resistor with wire taps!

I kind of wish I could find some pics of someone that did the 3157 LEDs to see how they look in the housing. I don't want people to know there's LEDs in there when off or on.

[/COLOR]FYI keep in mind, these are only pictures with a basic settings on my Cannon DSLR. Lighting is skewed due to camera, but more/less show what to expect with the bulbs I installed. I do believe you'll be completely thrilled using these but just wanted to clarify that.

Do you have any pictures of the projection of the reverse lights?

Sorry no pictures of the projection of them. Maybe this weekend I can try to swap the cargo and reverse lights, just to see if they'd fit. I think the 13w would be ideal for the reverse lights.

Yeah..It was presented to me, that replacing only 2 LEDs (Amber front) does not reduce the power draw enough to break the circuit, but I guess replacing the 4 tails reduces the draw enough to cause the Hyper lash...

The really cool thing about the front Ambers is that when they are off it doesn't look like a "fried egg"...it is clear and doesn't look like a light is even there.

im glad you found your solution fred. sorry i wasnt much help.

Thanks Noah...You have helped me out numerous times...

Still can't get the tails to work without hyper flashing...and don't want to add resistors or a bunch of other shit...just want to be able to stick them in the tails and have them work...

I am liking the LEDs...

Thanks,

Fred

I've never actually paid attention... Do 2 of the tails act as signals and 2 act as brake lights or do they do both?

Which bulbs did you end up buying for the tails? How did they look in the tail light? Could you tell they were LED bulbs in there or did they blend in really well? Any pictures by chance?

I bought the 3157-R45-T from superbrightleds.com...they looked good in the housing, could NOT tell they were LEDs...NOT much brighter then the Sylvania bulbs...maybe 10% brighter...No pics since I took them out and am sending back...I am thinking to just leave my blinkers alone for now...and swap out the rest with LEDs...

Good to hear our lenses refract the light so you can't tell they're in there.

I wonder how this would fair? About 1/4 down the page.
