A Better Backup Bulb?

Sorry for the resurrection, I was doing backup research as well and came across these fairly new led bulbs with a focus-lens.
I bought them and installed them and they work so damn well. Nice white light with a hint of blue, and they shine about as good as having headlights back there! Just a heads up for anyone still searching for the perfect backup bulb, this is it!

I have ones that look very similar made by Cree that I purchased on another site. Mine have LED's around the barrel to light up the relector in the housing and the mini projector beam facing out. They are indeed like the best looking and brightest back up bulbs I've ever seen. In certain bases these are available in versions that rival the lumen output of halogen headlamp bulbs.

I am slowly switching everything over to LED technology. After reading this thread I decided to get the ADJURE DIAMOND CUT Back Up Light and License Plate Holder. It comes with a pair of 54-LED bulbs shipped for a great price. I like the look!

Chuck, the 2057 CREE Projector LED's will provide the most light facing rearward as opposed to a radial LED with many elements. I've used them in my fogs in my 2011 Silverado where now I just have the radial LED's and it was a huge downgrade. I broke the connector on back of one of my CREE projectors and had to sub something temporarily. Going back to the CREE projectors with 4 SMD LED's around the cylinder to provide light for the reflector...this just helps in the aesthetics for continuity of light "fill". I do have the CREE's as described above for my reverse lights in my truck and once you've had them you'll never consider another backup bulb.

I installed 80W CREE LED's in the Adjure housing and the results speak for themselves!
