yeah I've been looking for these as well. as many problems as AAC has with many of their products, from what I've seen the reserve lights don't seem to be one of 'em. Still, that price...

I would LOVE to buy them but I would feel so stupid paying that much for LEDs. I really like the idea of being able to see better when I back up.

I'm guessing the downside is they're too bright. If someone is standing behind me, they will turn their head. I seen the LED sidemarkers and you can't stare directly at them for 1/2 second. Like looking at lasers being held back.

My AAC reverse lights have been fine for me since I had then installed at the fest. I have had extensive problems with other AAC products, and in my experience, I found that they haven't stood by their work as some others claim. I've spent over 3 grand with AAC, and have had my fair share of problems. The reverse lights have not been one of them, though.

Wow I have bought many AAC products and have not had a problem with any of them. Guess I am in the minority. :(

I have had nothing negative with my AAC Halos or rear LEDs.

I have the AAC reverse LEDs and I did have a warranty issue with them right out of the box (bad connector). They were covered but it took several weeks to get the replacement set shipped back to me. I do love the lights though, much better than stock.

Way better than wasting $200 on AAC garbage

No, I just found out about this. I knew there had to be a cheaper way. My car is put away for the winter but I'm definitely going to give it a try.

I did it with mine and it looks great, $10 for LED's and 30 mins of your time and it's done.
