I'd have to go with a GTR I think, or I don't even know, never had to think about getting a car in that price range, but I can tell you it would not be that car.

Anyone buy LED reverse lights? I'm looking for something brighter than the crap stock bulbs but I'd like recommendations...backing up with tint can be annoying at night.
I'll probably pick some up for cheap and hope for the best. eBay here I come!

I have LED reverse lights and let me tell you, they don't do any better job of lighting up what's behind you than the stock bulbs do. LED's just don't project any light for you to be able to benefit from them. Reverse lights on our cars are more for other people so they can see you're about to back out of a spot, not for you to be able to see things behind you. I know it's pain with tint, because I have dark tint. You just get used to it I guess.

Your right about that. I had to resort to installing a backup camera.

I have some super bright led reverse lights and I think they light up a little better than the halogen\filament bulb. Maybe the light being white instead of orange\brown helps, in addition to the added brightness. I do use a backup cam when backing up at night so it could be that my cam picks up white light better, idk. Backup cam is a must have IMO.
