LED tail light upgrade
I purchased a pair of these on a fluke to fill in some burnt out bulbs. They are extremely bright white. And really work well. Best if all I'm not getting any bulb warnings in the dash.
When used for the reverse lights, they are a brilliant white and really light things up.

Very cool! I put in parallel load resistors. Giant pain.
The only caution I'd have: There is no free lunch. Those bulbs must dissipate about the full wattage in order to not trigger the warning. That heat has to go somewhere. Even if it's just a lot of LED power, there still is a bunch of extra heat. Keep spare bulbs on hand.
