I currently have pretty dark tints in the back and was wondering if anyone has an update to which reverse bulbs provide more light compared to stock.
I did a search on all g35 forums but it seems no one has really concluded if aftermarket bulbs like the PIAA W2s really provide more light than stock.
My corners/clearance are still orange and I think it looks fine so I wouldnt mind if the bulbs still looked a bit "yellow" or if they looked hyperwhite. I just want to be able to see a little more of the back when I'm backing up. I'd hate to scratch up that sexy butt by accident.
Also for the people who post saying you have brighter bulbs, could you please post what kind and also where you bought them. Lastly, apparently there used to be a DIY to the rear lights by BillR but the link is no longer active. If someone could post how to access the rear bulbs, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

 

Has no one bothered to do this or am I the only one who cant see with the tints?

 

Yeah the PIAA W2's do a decent job, I've currently got those in Xtreme White on my car. I can't personally gaurantee you'll notice a huge difference (I've got tailight overlays and my rear glass in tinted which makes it hard to tell) but you should.

To remove the stock bulbs you'll need to pull back the trunk liner by unsnapping the plastic piece the hatch latches into and by removing a few plastic snaps on the inside of the trunk. Once its peeled back you'll fine three bolts being held on by 8mm nuts on each tailight. Remove the nuts with an 8mm socket and the tailights will fall off in your hands.

 

i also have PIAA w2, they look much better and def brighter

 

Whew, thanks for the replys.

 

i wanna chage reverse lights too and i tried to remove the bulbs but i couldnt find how to change. usually the other cars have bulbs inside trunk i dun think G is same
can u guys tell me how to change?

 

http://www.autolumination.com/ has a ton of LED's available. For the reverse lights you can either go with 921's or 194's. For the tail light removal, you just pop out the plastic tabs, and there are 2 or 3 bolts to unfasten and they will come out.

 

No need to change your bulbs. My Taillight Overlays are now available with the reverse lamp cutout . BTW, even with the Overlay over them, the light shines pretty bright!

i got white LED it's not that bright..
im trying to get 9 LED bulb..

 

when i smoked my tials i just didnt do the reverse light because i knew i would run into this problem if i did

 

i thought he was talking about his rear window tints. not overlays.
