Anyone try Sylvania ZEVO LED as reverse lights?

[JPMo]

I've noticed I've been having a fairly difficult time reversing out my parents long driveway at night, when I did not have this issue in my previous car (03 Mitsu lancer) and I think its because of poor light output from my reverse lights. Has anybody tried out these LED bulbs as their reverse lights on their ZHP? I'm curious as they are available locally and have the LEDs facing the reflectors which might help with light dispersion. https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/z.../2004/bmw/330i

I've never tried those reverse lights before. I'm using these bulbs in my car.

They are very bright, but they don't help much when backing up at night. I think its just the angle of the bulbs not pointing down but more out that causes an issue.

I'm curious to see what other people say

These kick ass for me, but I'd love to try the ones you linked.

Edit: they're cheaper on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CKQP3XA/

Have you ever tried backing up in a pitch black driveway and been able to see with your current reverse lights?

My parents house is like backing up into the abyss. I usually never pull far into the driveway to just avoid the issue.

Yeah, but I have a backup cam so it's not too comparable.

lol makes all the difference. I need to modernize

Exactly my struggle, made worse by the fact that the driveway has a couple slight bends surrounded by trees. Visibility is crucial.

You think we'll get bulb out errors?

I don't have any bulb out errors from my CREE LED's that I linked above. Been running them for years without issues.

I've tried several LEDs back there with no errors. Should be good to go.

I'm using these same CREE bulbs.

You can use any bulb you want; reverse light bulbs are not monitored by CANBUS on the E46 platform. The same goes for the fog lights.
