It is a bit too wet and cold to be putting in an original bulb again, sorry.
But here are photos of the new reverse lights in action.

They are intensely bright and pure white.
I cannot comfortably look into them and as you can see they completely max out the camera's contrast range.
And this is in broad daylight (no flash was used).

The brake lights are on.
Even as bright as they are you can see that the new reverse lights are much brighter.

Honestly, the tire installer accidentally threw out my stock run flat-tires when I had my winters put on in December. I had at least one more season left. So I raised hell and told them I wanted full cost replacements. The Eagle F1s in the 1LE size were actually cheaper than the run-flats replacements, so they agreed to give me those as replacements. I just paid for the rims. I get lucky every once in a while.

Installed the gm intake. We shall see if the dealer will do the calibration during the pandemic or not.

A side question for anyone that installed this. Is the MAF tube supposed to rest on the hvac slightly.

Isn't this much brightness overkill, though? I added a pretty powerful reverse LED bulb, too, but this takes the cake, if you can't look into them during the day, one can imagine how bright they look at night... how does the backup camera cope with it in the dark?

Yeah, very slightly, mine did as well... They give you a wrap for the hvac tube to avoid issues...

Your engine compartment looks very familiar to mine!

(You can see the mesh wrap on the HVAC tube right below the intake pipe...)

I will probably go 30 all around on the next one.
The save the oceans blue plate will go great with the riverside.

Yup, same here. Haven’t had any issues.

Waxed and Window Tint on every window but the front windshield. Need to get rid of that front plate and bracket and still deciding on debadging the LT1 badges on both sides of the car.
