Where did you get the LEDs from? would you mind providing a link? Why these cars don't come with reverse LED light sis beyond me... also they wont affect the stock wiring, right?

Your call, see attachments to remove panels if steadfast in doing so and for future reference.

Post a picture of your LED back ups already, I want to know if it's worth the trouble.

Anyone know what the length limit for a bulb is? Based on a 921 how much longer of a bulb could fit in there? I have used some LED bulbs in my other cars that were a bit longer than the 921 and they were extremely bright.

There is a bunch extra room and the 921 in these are longer already.

I just installed these:
Amazon Amazon

I'll try to remember to post a picture tonight. These were about 1/4" longer and their is still room to spare. The important thing is you want one with LEDs all around since the bulb sits vertically instead of horizontally. These were good build quality.
