Brightest V-LED backup lights?

[seven9st surfer]

Looking for the brightest backup lights I can get short of doing a HID install. The previous owner had the upgraded Sylvania Silverstar bulbs in there, and the light output is pretty good. But after reading a bunch of reviews on V-LEDs, I'm thinking about trying out some LEDs. So, what would be brighter, the Silverstars, the 92-LED bulbs, or the 20-LED bulbs. Both the V-LEDs have a 5-star output rating. The 20-LED one looks like a more focused design, and despite having only 20 LEDs, says they are "brighter than any other bulb for this application". Can these actually be brighter, despite the sheer number of LEDs on the 92, or is it just marketing talk? Or would the Silverstars still have better output? I tried looking up an actual value for the light output, but the only one I could find anything on is the 20-LED one at 360 lm. Thanks for the help.

I've had both type of those LED reverse lights actually. Most recently I had the V-LED (20)-LED back up lights and they were bright as shit. I highly recommend them out of the two that you posted. Although they have less LED's, they are brighter. I just recently sold my pair of 20-LED lights because I ended up splicing in an 4300k HID kit in there as I work in the middle of nowhere in the country and need as much light as I can to backup sometimes.

awesome, exactly the kind of answer i was looking for. and the 20-leds are on sale right now, too! thanks bro

EDIT: any idea why the 20-led bulbs say not to use as DRLs? if they really are that much brighter, i was gonna replace my ebay LED DRLs with these. judging by the descriptions, it looks like I could still use the 92-leds but the more light, the better!

They are not properly heatsinked ... leds generate a lot of heat when on for a long time.
Hence why they won't warranty them if you use them as drls, and indemnify themselves with that warning in case they cause some damage to the housing/wiring.

I have led drl's in the Esky and it looks bad ass and have yet to go out. I've had em in there for about a year now **knock on wood***

Yeah I had them on the hyhoe forever as well.

I'm not saying any of the things I mentioned will happen ... just explaining why they say not for drl.
