They do have a led for reverse but since led light isn't focused like a regular bulb, you really don't get the light where you need it the most. Oh I thought you were selling the esky tails

I have two sets. One for my wife, one for sale. :shake:

Do they take a second to brighten up like most HIDs or are they instant?

EDIT: nevermind, saw the video. Don't think I'll go that route. I think they are a tad too bright and looking for something more subtle.

I did this and it looks awesome. One of my fav mods for sure.

OK the 7 watt DRL LED said 24.99 -EACH-. So it only comes with one? and same for the other one? (ex: Or is it 24.99 for a set of 2?... which i'm hoping for) Just making sure before I lay down $115 for 4 LED bulbs...

I just bought the two 3157 DRL's you suggested and it was $53.98 for two f'n bulbs....

Hope mine look as good as yours!

Decided to stay with stock amber turn signals for now... mainly because I don't feel like getting resistors for them considering the two hid kit's for high/low beam and the led protectors for the DRL's are all jammed in there already...

You can upgrade to the bigger resistor and put it on the tails. One resistor will do 2 bulbs.
