I am thinking about replacing my reverse light globes with brighter LED's to make it easier to see at night.
Anyone know where I can get some that are just plug and play? I prefer to just replace the stock globes with something much brighter, don't want to muck around with any wiring/relays or mounting extra lights on the car.
For a Patrol GQ.

ebay mate, loads and loads of them on there............... also Supercheap, Repco, Auotone etc etc etc
I think you might require a resistor in line for the LED, or is that just for indicators.
2011 GU8 ST 3.0 CRD, ARB Bullbar with IPF spotties, scrub bars and side steps, Snorkel, Dual Battery system, Waeco fridge, Turbo Timer, ARB Roof Rack with 5 IPF spotties across the front, Custom full Leather Bucket seats, DPchip, 3" Taipan exhaust, ARE Intercooler & scoop, Autron EGT/Boost and dual volt gauges, ARB front locker.
I checked ebay and patrolapart, found a direct replacement for the interior/cabin light but still trying to find something for reverse lights
I think you only need a resistor if the current draw is much lower... hopefully there are some which are powerful enough that you don't need a resistor, or have a built in resistor!
just the indicators MegoOriginally Posted by MEGOMONSTER
I have 440 smd LED plus a 36 watt led reverse light its like daylight in the bush at night
Each globe has 120 smd led, love em X 4 globes
Every globe in my 4x4 is either LED or HID
Only need either resistor or flasher relay for blinkers

Turns out I was limiting my search results too much by adding "GQ" in reverse lights (I did not want to get globes with the wrong fitting)
Someone else found me cheapies which also come with a projector at the back so it directs the light better, thought I'd share: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1156-BA15...ht_3127wt_1095
I've tried that style you'll be disappointed, trust me
I have a box of LED globes that I thought were bright
the 120 smd are the brightest by far IMO
