From John. I like the way they look. I got them from John before he switched to HID reverse lights. Hmmmm, maybe that's my next lighting mod.

Scott, looks good.. but I love your reverse lights, to me that first time I saw you I instantly knew it was you because you were reversing up in the tire shop when I was pulling in.. I LOVED THEM! Any brighter and it would have been too distracting to me eyeballs..lol..Im just saying to ME-- they were very noticable.. nicely done on the HID's John/ Scott

Guess I'll be the party pooper who doesn't believe in retrofitted lighting mods

Ah. Actually, that was my concern as well. I had a client come in that had those. They do look bright, however, they don't illuminate well. That's why I waited for HID reverse

PIAA's are LEDs not halogen n they come with some form of ballast too but think stil nothing compared to john's HIDs!!!

The MTEC ones are super expensive on ebay, $129.00? I saw some other posts stating just $40.
Can I get just the other branded ones that are $40? or go for the MTEC only?
