I dont know if I am the only one but it is hard to see out the back of my car at night when backing up. So douse anyone know how I can either get or make them brighter

Have you tried shopping VLEDs for some kick ass white LED replacement bulbs? Those can work wonders. Their platinum series is ridiculously good. I have a 90 something SMT LED bulb in my reverse and it's a HUGE improvement over the stock incandescent bulb

What tony ^ said. Another option is HID reverse but you will need to do some wiring

I put Silverstar headlight bulbs in my old set of tails...worked great, but you need to get crafty with epoxy and bulb holders, etc. The ridiculous LED option is usually enough for most, especially with your WK's clear lens. Mine is frosted/diffused, so you'll probably do even better than I do.

im interested in these too but i noticed this at the bottom...

WARNING
Not for use in continuous on applications such as DRLs. Bulb failure may occur if on high output mode for more that 15 minutes due to over heating.


anybody know what DRL is?

It should be 3157 for 06, post 8 by rob.

I just noticed that they dont have a platnium series for the 921 bulbs used by the 07+ wks

im about to buy myself a set of turn signals and reverse lights. this site isnt very good at telling people exactly what they are getting. is everything in a pair? im trying to buy resistors but it doesnt really say much. does their phrasing "resistors" mean that its going to be in a pair? can't contact them either because no phone #.

Yea...I backed into a mail box a few months ago and crushed my liftgate :( I can't believe how thin the metal is back there! The reverse lights are wayyy to mellow to see anything, especially in the pitch black. I am thinking of putting a KC Highlight on my roof rack facing the back. I got a couple laying around from my Wrangler.

For back up bulbs, NO resistors are needed because they do not flash/blink.

probably a stupid question but do these require resistors?

i think i've probably asked the same question about 25 times, i have bad memory.
