ges, thanks for the writeup and links to the bulbs.

took me all of 40 minutes to do all of them but the puddles.  I'm gonna hack into them myself.  Man those center map lights were a PITA to get apart...that's where most of my time was spent.

Those backup lights are bright as hell!

If you don't want to hack the lights that are in the mirrors now, you can purchase just the light from Ford.  I don't have a part number, I was lucky, my dealer had a spare light that they gave me, so I could do one without taking the light in the mirror apart, and now I have a spare puddle light.
Also, I gotta get those backup LED's, could you please provide me with the link and the bulb that you guys used so I can get them ordered.  Thanks.
 
Just out of curiosity, people who have done the LED update, can you run your scan tool to see if you get a DTC? I just did the tune to my car and I pulled a B1215 code (along with my sending unit code that was fixed prior to the tune) which is a Running Board Lamp Circuit Short to Battery error...but I've never touched any of those lights.

No worries; I had same problem with backups and ended up getting these; they provide a great amount of light for me.

I was 1/2 interested in maybe picking these up for my reverse lights, but am I reading the ad correctly?

Are these nearly $45 per bulb?  :doh:

Which I'll add, doesn't even include the shipping costs factored in.  :boom:

So $100 all said, for 2 reverse lights, that I'll use about...... never.  ::)

HAHHA; holy crap!

I bought mine from him for $27 bucks for (2).

He raked up the price! Oh well, I'll have mine available soon as I'm going with 15w HID's for backup lights.

Holy Moly, I was going to get them, too, but 3 days ago they were only 35 bucks a piece...I'm going searching to see if I can find them at something close to a sensible price....
I think we should stay away from that guy's e-Bay page, because someone is smoking crack there!
 
Yes, the price went up -- but sheesh read the damn ad; they are for a "PAIR".

I bought them for $27 for (2); seller just racked it up to $45 for (2).

Still almost doubling the price does seem a bit greedy, and I have to admit I did not read that it was for a pair...I did find this at Amazon, it's $5.00 less, it is the same bulbs and appears to be free shipping.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/15w-HID-KIT-P13W-Reverse-Lights-DRL-HID-Kit-Back-Up-/180633539519

This was where I was looking to get the reverse HIDs.  Not offering on EBay right now, I think.  The main difference is in rampup time.  This kit was "instant on" vs other similar HID kits that take up to 3 seconds to reach full power.  A similar offering on Amazon (still researching):

http://www.amazon.com/Xenon-P13w-Reverse-Lights-Back/dp/B0088PUQFI/

Also been looking at these as "cheaper" alternative:

See the Samsung "flat panel" offering.

It's ebay; what do you expect?

I did see those; these bulbs are everywhere--just gotta find right deal. :)

Well, you've had these in for a bit now...are they worth the money?  And now that you've had them, what's the most you'd pay for a pair?
 
I just ordered all mine from superbrightleds.com and will hopefully be receiving them this week.  The tail lights are the last ones on the list below.  I don't know maybe they won't work, I'm no expert on lighting that's for sure. My SHO is a 2013 for the record.

Sorry man; I tried that WLED-X19-T for my reverse; it was no where near bright enough.

It sucks the guy raised prices on the LED's I recommend for reverse light; they work great.
