LED Replacement for reverse bulb on 2015 Denali

[George C]

lol...10-4.

They are nice, aren't they?

I always get a chuckle then I press unlock on the FOB and it turns the reverse lights on... and then I look at my neighbors house across the street and see it lit up.

Glad you liked them. BTW, they make awesome cargo light bulbs for anyone that has a truck with 921 cargo lights in it.

Now on to the fogs again. I posted my problem in the fog light thread.

Yes, they are very, very nice. I have them in my F-350 and my Silverado, but never put them in our old Tahoe. This set is a much more refined LED than the chip sets I used before.
In a Denali, it's just sac-religious to have Fred Flintstone bulbs light up. Almost embarrassing.
Thanks again..

got the philips led reverse lights installed and man you werent kidding, they are BRIGHT!

i am about to buy the sylvania license lights as well and wanted to ask how well they match the reverse lights in terms of color and brightness since they all come on at the same time when unlocking the car.

thanks hosseface!

They are the exact same color. Both of those should be standard on all of the 15+s.

The Philips bulbs are amazing.

I've got em. The bulbs that should have come in the truck from the factory.

There's a couple threads on the topic in the exterior sub.

Once you go LED you never go back

Looking at reviews on Amazon - I see a comment referencing a 2-pk of a similar Philps bulb

http://www.amazon.com/Philips-12841...D41OQ/ref=cm_cr_pr_sims_t/183-5637165-8958222

Looking at the Philips website - I cannot tell the difference in specs - other than you get 2 for basically the same price as one..... any ideas?

Specs on the 12832X1 mentioned at the top of this thread:
http://www.usa.philips.com/c-p/12832X1/x-treme-ultinon-led-car-lamp/specifications

Specs on the 12841B2 that has a 2-pk.
http://www.usa.philips.com/c-p/12841B2/visionled-led-car-lamp/specifications


Lumens are listed for the 12832X1 but not for the 12841B2.....

I've still be digging on the difference on these bulbs - over on a lighting forum I found reference that they are indeed the same bulb - just packaged 2 vs 1 (both at about the same price)

…and I just got the definitive answer this afternoon from Philips: The only difference between 12832X1 and 12841B2 is the packaging (2 instead of 1) and the price (2 for the old price of 1). Same bulb. And "7440" does not belong; it is the W16W (921) "T16"-size bulb.

Still not 100% sure, but think I'm going to place an order to AMZN for the 12841B2 and give it a try.....

Same bulbs just packaged differently.

I bought the 2 singles for myself then my dad saw them and asked me to get him a set so I ordered the double pack on Amazon and we have the same 2015 suburban and we compared and verified they are exactly the same brightness and color. Save your money and buy the double pack.
