What bulb are you guys going with for the reverse lights. I really don't have to have a full LED conversion on my Hoe but some brighter reverse lights would be useful.
I needed some brighter LED reverse lights. The ones I had in there were good, but I wanted brighter, like those 1200 lumen JDM Astars I just put in the NBS. I originally ordered the 3157s, but they didn't fit the NNBS socket.
It calls for a 7441 bulb which must be just that extra bit skinnier and allows the wedge to sit further down in the socket and make contact, whereas the 3157 bulb did not sit deep enough to trigger the lights.
Nonetheless, I had success in installing these new LED bulbs and they are super bright.
They are made by Bulbeats 1200 lumen 144 chipset projector bulbs. Here is the link to Amazon for $17.

No such thing as too bright!! Lol.
That swath of light out back is great and when hitting the key fob with the other exterior/interior
LEDs there is no doubt that a Suburban is there or you are backing out.
The wife mostly backs in now too, but sometimes goes head first so it is really helpful for her with the tinted windows.
No issues with hyper/error flashing with just plug n play or do I need the load resistors?
How about reverse lights?I have load resistors on all 4 led turn signals to stop hyper flash
