iBrightstar Projector Replacement Reverse Parking Reviews Summary

Brightness

Pros:

• "these are very bright, you can see clearly in the side mirrors on a long bed truck what is behind you for 10-15ft."
• "It is super noticeable of how much brighter they are."
• "These iBrightstar bulbs are WAY brighter than the Sylvania LED and also brighter than the original incandescent bulbs."
• "Bright as described. 3 or more times brighter than 2015 Factory Jeep Bulbs."
• "They are super bright and work great right out of the 'box'."
• "These are great, obvious differences from factory lights. They seem to be brighter than the pod lights I have mounted in the bumper."
• "For a second I thought I installed headlights for reverse lights! That’s how much brighter they are!"

Cons:

• "Compared to the old halogen bulbs they make little to no difference and are three times the price."
• "Put these in my old plow truck reverse lights and they put out half the light of a tired 20 year old standard bulb."
• "Was hoping for a brighter reverse light (2004 silverado) and what I got was about the same brightness of a standard bulb."
• "One of the bulbs started to fade and flicker. Now the one bulb barely puts off any light and needs replaced again."
• "The LED lights I removed from my truck were a lot brighter than these."
• "These were absolutely the same brightness as the stock incandescent lights on my Ford transit 350. I returned them."
• "Not quite as bright as I thought they would be but still bright."

Installation & Fit

Pros:

• "Great product easy to install just make sure you have the correct flasher."
• "Super easy plug-and-play install."
• "Pulled the tail light assembly off, pulled out the old bulb, installed this product and it works great, no troubleshooting required."
• "Got these for my 2004 GMC Sierra. They work perfectly in back tail lights (with new LED flasher)."
• "I am really quite impressed by how much light these throw out behind the van."
• "I really like having near instant on/off in the turn signal."
• "Much easier to install these than the old style bulbs were to remove."

Cons:

• "Does not fit a 2013 Ram 2500, as the description states."
• "This will not fit a 2015 Toyota Tunda as assured in the compatibility chart offered when you put your information in."
• "Dis not work since led bulbs were loose fitting when in the socket, but sockets super snug with oem bulbs."
• "THE DESCRIPTION SAID THEY WILL WORK TO REPLACE MY BACKUP LIGHTS ON MY 2019 RAM 1500 TRADESMEN TRUCK. THE BASE IS WAY TO BIG & THEY WON'T WORK IN ANY BULB SOCKET ON MY TRUCK."
• "When I push this bulb into the socket, it doesn't feel at all secure, and it keeps popping out."
• "Incredibly loose, no way these work in any vehicle."
• "They have no way of staying put in the housing on my truck."

Quality & Durability

Pros:

• "Also I’ve had these in the truck about 1-1/2 year and they are still working."
• "note installed these on my truck 5 plus years ago and they still work great."
• "Still working like day one."
• "I figured I would check on the warranty and contacted the seller, they immediately sent me a set of new ones."
• "I bought these without reading reviews or doing some homework (dummy me right). Making the blind purchase and after installation, these lights are perfect!"
• "The product arrived on time and in good condition. It works well and has a nice design. The seller was responsive and helpful when I had a question."
• "They’re super bright and very easy to install."

Cons:

• "Really bad quality. One light bulb was bad and asked to see if I could just get it replaced just one bulb and they said that it could not be done."
• "First set not even half the bulbs worked in one light."
• "Purchased these in August of 2021, installed them, tested them after installed and both were working properly as a tail light/brake light bulb... but if they only work for two years...that's not acceptable in my opinion."
• "One of the bulbs started to fade and flicker. Now the one bulb barely puts off any light and needs replaced again."
• "Broken after just 3 months of use. Was installed as reverse lights for my vehicle, one is still functioning but the other is completely inoperable."
• "The lights lasted less than 8 months. Both have burnt out a week apart."
• "Well, they lasted about 9 months and burned out."
