It would definitely have a lot to do with if your bulb is directly exposed or if it relies on a reflection to project... let me know what VLEDs says, I'm curious to know!

Not the news i was hoping for.....

Nick,

Unfortunately there is no LED in 921 that is bright enough to see by, we are working on it, hope to have something in 3-4 months.

Thank you,

if anyone finds something brighter or better than the factory bulb, please be sure to share!

Back up LEDS

I posted another thread on this topic. The back up lights on the 08 Caddy CTS. These things look awsome and are very bright. I peaked at them on another Caddy in a store parking lot through the tail lens and they actually appear to be twin ,yes two, LED lamps in each reverse light. They appear to be about the size of an pencil eraser head. Not sure how many LEDS are in each, or what type, but this definitely needs further investigation.

do you have the back-up camera?

is the blue easier to see?

would you say the new bulbs are brighter than the OEM bulb?

where did you get them?


thanks...
