Insanely Bright!
My new-to-me 2014 Prius is a model 2, so no backup camera, UGH. I realized I can't see a THING when reversing.I replaced the stock incandescent bulbs with these, and even in full sunlight, the backup lenses are almost blindingly bright. I couldn't wait to go to work so I could see backing out of my driveway. Unfortunately, for me, they made NO difference. Your mileage may vary. It seems on the Toyota Prius, the reverse lights are simply to let others know you're backing up. The Lenses just scatter the light. So while looking at them, the entire Lens is filled with INTENSE light. Yet very little of this light goes anywhere useful. Backed up near the garage door confirms it. The whole door is pretty well lit. There are no beams of light, and nothing angled down toward the street. I'm sure this is not a fault of the bulb, but the lens housing that reflects the light. The lens is made of what looks like a bunch of little square mirrors. The trouble is, none of those mirrors actually focus the light in any specific spot. If Toyota thought everyone would opt for the backup camera, they should have made it standard. Now I will need to replace the head unit with an upgrade that gives me all the nifty new features. I'm all for that, but $17 for a set of bulbs is a much easier pill to swallow than a few hundred dollar head unit. I'm not looking forward to running a video cable from the hatchback lid to the front of the car either. Replacing the head unit and installing/connecting all the accessories is a job I'd prefer to leave to the pros. These LED bulbs are extremely, super insanely, bright. Thew longevity remains to be seen. I would also imagine with the number of chips on these they must get pretty hot. I would not attempt to use them as DRL's or any application where they are on for more than a few minutes tops. My guess is they'll burn themselves out quickly. Used as directed, with a reflector that actually focuses the light, the result should be nothing short of amazing. In my case, all they'll do is say I'm in reverse, heading toward you, close your eyes and brace for impact! The closing of the eyes will be involuntary. I could have completed my LED conversion for much less by selecting a more standard 7440 LED bulb, but again, it's not JDM's fault. They produced a product that performs exactly as claimed.

7443 Projector
These bulbs are bright, but they're also heavy. If you install these in a vehicle that bounces around a lot be prepared to have to take your headlight housing off to fish the bulb out.Overall its a good bulb. It seats well, I didn't have to trim the plastic on the base to get it to fit deep enough in the 7443 socket and it's bright. The projector really helps throw light out. A upgrade that is worth it if you can keep the longer bulbs in the socket.

Good lighting for as long as it lasts.
I purchased these about a year and a half ago and they do have higher output than the original bulbs but one has recently failed. This is disappointing considering the price to “upgrade”. I do not recommend this brand.

Works great for 2014 Ram 1500 w/ LED Sport light package
Fits on 2014 Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn. No error codes from the truck after install. These bulbs are much brighter than the old stock reverse lights. Just what I wanted.

Fits 2017 f250 reverse light
Bright bulbs, unfortunately the housing design with prismic lense dosent throw the light as well as I would like. I'm going to keep the bulbs as they are much brighter than stock incandescent bulbs.

They work
2014 Dodge Ram 1500, Laramie Limited with factor LED taillights. Put them in for the reverse bulb.They work, they're bright, they're easy to install. But I ordered these because other Dodge Ram owners said they didn't get the CANbus resistor error. Well I did and I definitely don't want to see this message everytime I get in the truck, even though they are working. Will probably return.

The Night is Bright!!
Wow! What a significant improvement in illumination. I can see way further while reversing with these lights. They give my back up camera a little night time boost as well. I read about these on Toyota Tundra forum and I am glad I made the decision to upgrade my reverse lights with these.

Impressive brightness improvement for not very much $$$
These bad boys work exactly as advertised and they make a very noticeable difference right away, the increased brightness is much more noticeable when you are way out somewhere where they are not street lights around. Backing up in a fairly well lit parking lot for example there really is not much of a noticeable difference over stock bulbs, then again you can already see behind you anyway because of the street lights overhead. However if you are out in the boonies say in someone's driveway or on a dark back road these bulbs light up the area behind your car light its daylight, it really is a huge improvement over incandescent light bulbs. I do wish the light traveled a little farther though, even with the projector on the end of the bulb they do not have much range to them. But for the low price and the fact they plug right into the stock socket and easily fit into the housing with no alterations at all as advertised I cannot really complain too much, if I want to really go crazy I'll get some LED flood/spot lights and wire them into my reverse lights. I have recommended them to several people since installing them and plan to order bulbs for my tail/brake lights and turn signals as well. I cannot speak to the longevity of the bulbs yet since I have only had them for about a month or so, if anything changes I will update at a later time.

They worked great!
Works great as running lights in my 2021 Jeep JL Wrangler! Direct plug and play my halogen bulbs and gave the front end a new look when accompanied by their other products for the LED Light swaps!

More expensive than oem halogen bulbs but for a better product
As easy to install as an oem bulb but this led bulb is much longer. Still, it just fits in 2012 Honda CRV for reverse lights. Purchased 2 on Oct. 26, 2015 and 1 bulb failed on Nov. 25, 2019. So 4 years, I guess not too bad. I'll have to replace both now anyway.You will have to decide whether the price is worth it for you. These are about 3.5X the price after shipping compared to grabbing halogen ones at CT.On the plus side, they are super bright so in terms of safety these win hands down.

Ridiculously bright and durable!
Bought these for a scion tc. They arrived a week earlier than expected. I was so excited to open the package, I actually dropped the lights directly onto the pavement. These lights are built solid! I was afraid that I damaged them but they are extremely well built!After installing them all I can say is that they are almost TOO bright hahaha! They are amazing and light up my neighborhood when I reverse. The color is pure white, no hint of blue, no hint of yellow. Just white.Buy these lights, you won't regret it.I am so happy with the results and I plan on buying all my lights from this seller in the future.:)

MONEY WELL SPENT !
Fantastic bulbs for the money, I have an obsession with bright lights whether it be a flashlight or car bulbs. These are worth every penny and have recommended this brand to several friends. I could probably drive home in reverse with how well they work

So far so good.
They have nice clean white output on my 2019 MDX
