Review on πŸ”† Upgrade Your Backup Reverse Lights with JDM ASTAR Super Bright AX-2835 Chipsets 912 921 White LED Bulbs by Daniel Pesicek

Revainrating 5 out of 5

See comparison photo. Lighter and whiter than stock.

I am very frustrated with reviews of LED automotive bulbs. The evaluation of brightness and color is very subjective. You can HOPE the lumen output means something, but it often feels like it's just made up. There is an additional level of confusion with automatic lamps as the design of the reflector, the lens and the position of the fitting within the fixture can all affect colour. and brightness. So I took a chance with these bulbs and they seem pretty bright. I put one in an Acura MDX backup light and you can see it's whiter and brighter than the stock bulb. I don't see much blue, but the color doesn't matter for the reversing light, but the brightness does. I tried measuring the brightness with an iPhone app that measures lumens but it didn't really work. So use your Mk I eyeball in the photo.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Ok
