Product Analysis
DDM's 5W Cree LED's are a very good quality bulb. They are a bit heavy compared to the stock bulbs so in the future there may be a need to adjust due to the weight pulling them loose. I will follow up here with that info..

Installation Analysis
Simply plug and play. With a #2 Phillips head screwdriver remove the tail lamp and swap the bulbs.

Overall Opinion
I am VERY pleased with the light output and the simplicity of the upgrade. For roughfly 32.00 shipped pr pair, this is the best upgrade I have found for the money.

Thanks guys :high5: I got an email Fromm DDM as I'm sure a ton of us do. I do like a bargain so I opened it and took a look. Was looking for led plate bulbs and ran across those. I was like, hey I have a tactical light that is 250-270 lumen and it's very bright. I know I have wasted more than 30.00 on some dumb shit so I thought why not. I am truly impressed with the light output.

I had a brain fart.. I looked at the how to and then the pictures and thought... why would he post pictures with his headlights on.. if the how to is for reverse bulbs? Then the realization smacked me across the face THOSE ARE SOME DAMN BRIGHT reverse lights! I'd say those are wayyy brighter than my hitch lights. Where did you buy them? I think I need these for my truck.. hooking to the boat trailer or backing down the ramp at night sucks.. these would be handy

Suppose something like this would work as a fog light? One of my fogs burned out tonight.. so it's time to buy something new (I was actually running an old set of headlight bulbs I had laying in my tool box. I don't remember what they were.. but they were brighter than my low beams lol). I don't need anything super bright for foglights... just something that's equal to stock or slightly brighter. I'll save the super bright stuff to my IPF's once I get my safari light bar attached. I just have to fabricate a set of brackets to mount it first.
