These new ones i got are also from ebay hehe, but i did more research on q5 vs r5, and it looks as if the r5 give off more light lumes.
Here is the link

Please post up pictures when you get these. I am interested in buying then but I would like to see them in action first.

Just get these, for another 10 dollars you get a lifetime warranty and I know they will work! I've had mine for 2 months or so now and they work great, no bulb out errors! Plus if you have a problem with the bulb you can call and speak directly to the guy on the other end and he will ship you a new bulb if you ever have problems. Great customer service at Retro.

IF you don't like them, I have a buddy that just pulled the same bulbs I have out of his 2011 F250 as he sold it yesterday, he had them in for a month, so I'm sure he'd make you a deal on them.

Reviving this thread..My blackline tailights are on their way to me and i was doing some research on getting reverse lights for them before they arrived when i stumbled on this thread. Every led light bulb/mod that i purchase from this one seller "esongbon" on ebay seems to be arriving packaged by this company LEDPACKAGES.COM. I finally went to their website after reading BSM135i's review and stumbled on what looked like the exact led's that the review was wrote about on ledpackages.com. Here is the link for anyone who is looking for them.

http://ledpackages.com/by-function/b...ree-white.html

Anyway i need help/ an update on them if any of you guys bought them or any other led bulb to replace the standard bulb.

The install was 10 minutes, tops. I drove it 10+ miles with no errors. It appears to be a nice 5K-6K white. No blue that I could detect.

Unfortunately the garage was pretty bright when I checked them. They seem pretty bright, but not staring-at-the-sun blinding bright. The real test will be when I back out of my driveway at night.

I'd say they're very comparable to these V-LED's I got for my 4Runner.

Did these a couple of weeks ago:

JDM ASTAR 800 lumens Extremely Bright Error Free 921 912 PX Chipsets LED Bulbs For Backup Reverse Lights, Xenon White

(from amazon)

Very bright (brighter than stock) and much more light to the sides.


Really helps backing down my alley!

If any one has the flicker, i found the solution. I used bmw carly there is an option to turn off voltage monitor for rear reverse lights under coding.
