Any one have CREE reverse bulbs from DDM

[Danzigman]

Mine arrived today, I can't get them to stay in the socket. They are extremely loose. I get them it come on then I try it put them in the taillights and the go out. I have tried several times. Looks like I will be sending them back.

I also bought switchbacks for the front turn signals. One of them will not light up yellow at all. One works fine.

Thanks for the link. I will keep these in mind. 15w they must be bright.

I just got my cree lights from DDM today too. I ran out of time and didn't get to install them yet. I'm not looking forward to it now that I see this tho. I'll try it tomorrow and let you know. If they are anything like the ones I just got off of ebay you have to click them into the socket.

i tried to press firmly, but was afraid to press too hard. Let me know how it goes.

IDK if your going to put them in your DTRL. but it says on the bottom...Not for use in GM Daytime Running Lights. They must have a reason for that.

If I can't get these to work I'll see if they will send me those ripp. The brighter my reverse lights are the better!

I ordered these.

thats weird that they didnt fit. are you sure your sockets arnt messed up? stretched of burnt?

 

[Danzigman]

I have regular leds in there now and they fit fine.

I got mine installed tonight without an issue. They clicked in kinda hard, like the front, but they're in. I have the black base ones.

I got a chance to look at them last weekend in daylight. I found the problem, they are too long. They hit the lense just enough to make them lose contact. I have the Sonar led tails with the backup light on the bottom.

How bright are these?

I just ordered my CREE's the other day plus some LEDs that were on sale for the turn signals and brake lights. I'm excited to see what they look like.

I installed my LEDs today and I got them all to work except for the reds. I love the ambers and the backup lights but I couldn't get the reds to plug in and work without wiggling them and when they did work they wouldn't get brighter when I depressed the brake pedal. I tries them in another socket and they worked fine. What did I do wrong?
