Has anyone changed teh reverse lights in there tails to LEDs? How diffcult is it, what exactly do you have to do to change the reverse lights?

Changing them out wouldn't be hard at all. It's the same as replacing the bulb. You just take the trim in your trunk out, then you'll see a few nuts that hold the tail lights in place. After that, it's pretty self-explanatory. As far as how bright it would be, I don't know. I would say it would be bright, but not as evenly spread as the bulbs you have now. It would be more like a flashlight pointing out in one direction than the even lighting all around like you currently have.

It should be plug and play for everything except the turn signals. FOr those you will need a resistor. I know some bulbs come with a resistor already, but they are a little pricey. Check out superbrightled.com
