I was 1/2 interested in maybe picking these up for my reverse lights, but am I reading the ad correctly?

Are these nearly $45 per bulb?  :doh:

Which I'll add, doesn't even include the shipping costs factored in.  :boom:

So $100 all said, for 2 reverse lights, that I'll use about...... never.  ::)

Holy Moly, I was going to get them, too, but 3 days ago they were only 35 bucks a piece...I'm going searching to see if I can find them at something close to a sensible price....
I think we should stay away from that guy's e-Bay page, because someone is smoking crack there!

Yes, the price went up -- but sheesh read the damn ad; they are for a "PAIR".

I bought them for $27 for (2); seller just racked it up to $45 for (2).

Still almost doubling the price does seem a bit greedy, and I have to admit I did not read that it was for a pair...I did find this at Amazon, it's $5.00 less, it is the same bulbs and appears to be free shipping.

It's ebay; what do you expect?

I did see those; these bulbs are everywhere--just gotta find right deal. :)

This was where I was looking to get the reverse HIDs.  Not offering on EBay right now, I think.  The main difference is in rampup time.  This kit was "instant on" vs other similar HID kits that take up to 3 seconds to reach full power.  A similar offering on Amazon (still researching):

http://www.amazon.com/Xenon-P13w-Reverse-Lights-Back/dp/B0088PUQFI/

Also been looking at these as "cheaper" alternative:

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Well, you've had these in for a bit now...are they worth the money?  And now that you've had them, what's the most you'd pay for a pair?

Make sure you make a trip to Radio Shack for the resistor or your dome lights won't work right.

Sorry man; I tried that WLED-X19-T for my reverse; it was no where near bright enough.

It sucks the guy raised prices on the LED's I recommend for reverse light; they work great.

So I take it you are remaining noncommittal on what you feel your reverse bulbs are worth?  I asked earlier what the most you would be willing to pay for them and if you felt they were worth $40.00 a pair?

DOH, sorry man.

Yes; I would pay that much for them -- they are worth it in my opinion.

If you can spend extra $50 I would get HID's tho.

I am planning to move to HIDs myself and retire the LED's.

Well I guess I'll just send them back.  :bangin: No need installing them if you have already tried.  I appreciate the feedback (geswek) and will continue to monitor ebay for these http://www.ebay.com/itm/140786483328?item=140786483328&viewitem=&sspagename=ADME:L:OC:US:3160&vxp=mtr or see if anyone else can find an alternative.

Am I blind but are there really HID reverse lights???? I have a set of the reverse lights above I am about to order on amazon.. I don't mind the cree ones I have now but they are more spot pattern than flood, these look a hell of a lot better.  But if there is an aftermarket option I am overlooking I am willing to spend the money, pulling trailers and backing up at night is worth it to me.
