Does anyone know the bulb size for the reverse lights? My dome, license plate, trunk, morning running lights are all LED.

194 small bulbs won't be bright enough by the way for anyone who wants to try those. I have over 30 of those small license plate bulbs I got for like 10 bucks and they're only good for trunk lights and license plates. You gotta get the the bigger ones with more than 5 LEDs

You can find what each of the lights on the car is on this page. They sell LED replacements for almost all of them too. I have these 921 LEDs: https://www.superbrightleds.com/more...car/1677/4010/. Decently bright, definitely brighter than the stocks and just over twice as bright as my 194 license plate lights, but as others said, the bottom location isn't very helpful.

I've only had this car for 2 months and the back up lights are terrible. I backup into a single wide driveway and seeing it at night is a challenge. My wife mentioned this to me as well. I'll look into the LED's.

Speaking of reverse lights - for those who have already replaced their bulbs: How hard was it to get the stock bulb out of the housing?
I recently picked up some of the LED replacements and with our nice little preview of spring this past week decided I'd get them installed, however I couldn't get the stock bulbs out... Should be just twist and pull correct? I was twisting enough to move the whole bumper and wiggle the car but they wouldn't budge (in either direction). They're not sealed or glued in some way are they? I could try pliers or something but don't want to break the darn things... |

Diode Dynamics makes a great kit
I added their brighter reverse lights soon after getting the car, and it made an enormous difference. They also provide great "how to" videos and great support after the sale. Ended up adding their "Always on Boomerangs", too, and a few other brighter bits for the trunk and interior. Highly recommend those guys!

Just installed my LED reverse lights this evening. Yes twist to the left - maybe a 1/4 turn. You can pull it out when it's loose. I thought I was going to have to get a tool but I was able to get them out by hand.
The LED's are amazingly bright.
