LED Reverse lights

I had a few extra white canbus SMD LEDs...swapped out the ugly yellow halogen reverse lights to LEDs on my E and GLK....looks much better....and no error codes!!

Yeah! This is the marvelous thing I saw yesterday while I was grooving along the pathways! Oh my god LED of Toyota Corolla Altis looks so scintillating at night!! It was damaged earlier due to some accident and now it's same again.

Also added to my GLK's Reverse lights as well

Even though the tail unit has a light smoked color over the Reverse and signals...the white LEDs does shine through...and still no error codes.....canbus LEDs FTW!!!

thanks, buddy ! yes, i'm all good now except itches all over my body but w/o rashes, weird feeling on my hands, legs, feet, tongue and throat . normal symptoms from the type of food poison i got.

cool looking mod . is it difficult to swap them? i've noticed your left and right license plate leds are two different colors. the one on the left is more blue and the one on the right is more green . is it just the angle ?

My mom barred us from eating a dead octopus last week as well lol Of course, it must be dead but she said that meal was too tough and even steam cooker failed to make it soft enough to eat . We noticed that there was some funny odor coming from the fish as well lol
PHML ,I like GLKs too , you did a very neat job

The frickin car's gonna end up like your GS Pete. Modded to hell and back. ah just tint...oh just LEDs... Maybe exhaust... Bam Wald body kit. LoL

How's the light out put? My last set I put on the GS was terrible. I can't see backing up out here in the country with my GS. Still looks good though.

Just a caution...

I switched to LED back up lights in my wife's truck. They looked cool, but were so much dimmer than the regular incandescent bulbs, so I switched back.

Better looking does not necessarily mean better working.
