15k headlights?! I will need to see some pictures of that haha.

I think everyone is using H11 for the reverse lights.

Yall are using hids for reverse lights? Wouldnt that take too long to light up and or potentially melt the tail light? Usually tail lights are plastic bc they dont need to withstand the heat like headlights.

I've had mine (6000k HIDs in reverse lights) for almost a year and have 0 melting problems. Once I left them on for 5 minutes straight and did not have any problems.

I have 8k HID reverse lights in my G4 LED tails and they work great. No melting at all. Plus when I put it in reverse the light comes AUTOMATICALLY on, but it gradually gets brighter... unnecessarily brighter... so i'm glad it's not full strength right when I put it in reverse because it is BRIGHT.. which was exactly what I was going for!
