I want to swap the reverse light bulbs with some super bright LED replacement bulbs. Anyone done this? What LEDs did you get?

Also anyone swap out the incandescent bulbs in the 3rd brake light/bed light with LEDs.
Thanks

I have the XP50's from diode dynamics for 6 months now, crazy bright. They were great to work with when I ordered the wrong set the first time. The link is noted below.

How about installation? Is it a simple DIY? Because I really don't want condensation inside the lights

Very simple. Remove the rear tail light. Remove reverse bulb holder, remove original light bulb, install new LED bulb. Resemble.

I just got the XP50s from Diode Dynamics. Fast shipping, super easy swap, and they are pretty bright. Not like adding dually's for reverse or anything, but way better than stock.

I will point out that you can put the bulb in backwards. Then it will flicker. You then have to remove it and turn it around. Kind of a pain. Best to check before reassembly.
