Well after reading another thread and wanting to change out my Reverse LED's for some time now i figured i would post this for those that are interested without having to spend more then $20-$30 or even less total. I give all the credits to TonyNo & Nookz for this one just wanted to post clear pics on the before and after as well as what you will need ect.

1. A set of LED Reverse Bulbs (i got mine from Amazon) $15-$25. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

2. A set of needle nose pliers to cut and crimp the wire down to the bulb connections front and back as shown in pictures below.

3. Two 2.2k Ohm Resistors, 1/4 W, 5% - A pack of 25pcs goes on Amazon for $5.77 or another forum member mentioned Radio Shack if you still have one around you for about .75 for 2pcs! - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The Resistor wire will need to be cut to fit over the LED Bulb wire as in sample pictures below. The resister used in the reverse lights is just to compensate for the reverse switch that leaks current when not closed as pointed out from another member. Enjoy the pics and money saving on this awesome DIY MOD!!!!
