Yes they are a alot brighter, the reverse LED'S are a lot (way!!!!!!!!!!) brighter they look great, i need to buy resistors for them as well. I am getting an error on the IDRive. I also installed the license plate resistors and my message is gone now, they look really good folks. The ones that im having problems with are the front blinkers and rear blinkers i can't seem to get them to work properly. I will continue to fiddle with them until i get them to work accordingly. I haven't tried the front because i don't know how to take the factory bulbs off, i did find a vendor that can sell me heat sink resistors for all my blinkers for 10 dollars including tax its a big resistor that is heat sunk. I will pick some up this week if i have time if anyone is interested i can pick some up for them as well just let me know. Will take pics and post them later tonight

The license plate are 39mm festoon i beleive the reverse i have to look it up they are bright and really nice the resistors are 10 ohms 60 watts i beleive for the license plate frame the expensive resistors are the one for the blinkers both rear and front run about 10 bucks each they come heat sunk. I can get you some just let me know if you know anyone else tht wants them lets get list started and i can just pick up everything and ship them out to you .

You got resistors for the rear plate?

I'm interested to know how the resisters fit in that tiny space back there.
