There we go!

Yes they're VERY bright, they're like xenons in the rear , it lights up the rear a LOT more than the stock bulbs while backing up.

The installation took about 20 minutes total (Had to take out the entire rear light assembly, and for some odd reason, the screws were <b>EXTREMLY</b> tight, thats what took most the time)

So how much did this cost? the bulbs were $11 CDN each (39 cents USD? ;P) at a local 'rice' shop, and soar fingers from the attempts on unscrewing the nuts with my bare hands. These bulbs are the same brand I have for my side blinkers, and they're BRIGHT.
