Stock is the best. Leds look brighter when you are looking directly at them but do not have as much visible light output. I have led reverse lights just for looks along with tinted tails and 15% on my windows.. cant see**** thats why I installed a backup camera if you want serious output there are HID kits for reverse lights but there is a chance of melting your housing.. there are a few ppl her and on the Acura sites who have done it.

The reverse lens in these cars is so small that no bulb would make a noticeable difference imo, i dont notice it much cause i have backup camera and super bright LEDs in the rear plate area which illuminates the area nicely to be seen through the camera but not if you turn back to look.

whats wrong with pressing aux, its only one extra step lol

you can buy a unit that will do it for you but its gonna cost you like $250

I thought the LEDs that are multidirectional would give better light output?

lol how often are you going to reverse anyway? beginning or end of a ride? who cares if the music stops when you are parking, it's such a cool feature to use/show off
