Be careful with "brighter" back up bulbs. Most times they'll be higher wattage then the stock bulbs and can melt the plastic lens very quickly. I upgraded mine to a whiter light.

I need some of those bad! I can't see a darn thing when I back out of my driveway(or anywhere for that matter) at night. I just go real slow. Not fun.

How much more wattage are those than stock bulbs? Online order or store?

I saw mine the other day and they looked yellow. http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/wuerg/vomit-smiley-015.gif

Heres a comparison. Even though the stock looks brighter its not, its just the glare and angle.

Oh and BTW, I ordered them online from AJUSA, but you can get them from any PIAA supplier.
