Reverse bulb just reach under.

Old reverse bulb.

New Raxiom reverse bulb.

Squeeze 1 tab to release the side marker.

Popped out, I see light!!

Insert the new bulb.

Just use a flat and gently pry up.

Unscrew. and take mirror off.

So that is what it looks like with the mirror off.

Tap to see if they work.

Reverse after.

Looking good sir! Sorry about the delay I was offsite yesterday!

Now here comes the tricky part :-)

Would be you be so kind to submit some pictures and reviews for these parts on the product page if you have a couple minutes?

Alex, thanks..sorry my screen was full of pics and my head was spinning. I wanted to get those posted ASAP. Fitment and product review after 2 days:

I have to say All of the RAXIOM bulbs fit perfectly and snug. Unlike the cheaper Amazon bulbs I purchased for the front switchback, there was no modification needed, no tape needed, nothing. Truly plug-and-play. Worth every penny.

Reverse light: The stock reverse light vs the Raxiom revers light is a night and day difference. Much more of a crisp white and a bright light vs. the cheap yellowish tint of the stock reverse bulb. I am very happy with how much light it gives and you can tell as soon as you put the car in reverse and look at your backup screen.

Side markers: These look killer! The LED strip is MUCH longer than the stock side marker bulb! SO MUCH BETTER! Even during the day I find myself opening the door to look at these lights. It looks like a laser. At night, as you can see on my side shot, they light up all around the car like a Christmas tree.

Vanity light: As you can see in the pics the stock yellow bulb is dim and yellowish. The Raxiom bulbs while tiny are a big improvement over the OEM bulb. Your wife/girl will thank you.

10/10.

Nice, except the whole idea of improving license plate lighting. I want something that reduces the lighting, preferably even sucking ambient light away from the plates.

Sorry about that you didn't need to go ham here and I didn't explain well enough!

Can you throw up a review and a couple pictures for the following on the product page. My fault!

1. Interior Lighting Kit: Photo & Review

2. Reverse LED Conversion (They look great I might add!) : Photo & Review

3. LED Side Markers: Photo & Review (Doing the math on these credits?) You're going to have a slew of AM Bucks!

Thanks in advance!

Very nice and functional add ons. Thanks for the install info. and pics.

I was all about that LED side marker, but looking at a few pictures I've seen, it looks awfully bright. I'd say I want it to be visible, but not bright enough to light up the ground under it all the time. What is your description of the brightness levels? Sometimes pictures don't tell the whole story. Should we opt for the tinted one in this case?

Lights look good man

Don't worry, it's not as bright as the one pic makes it appear to be. It's not like a Civic with an under glow light or anything close to that brightness. Kinda hard to describe, it's like a solid laser bright but not crazy bright. Very nice.

Thanks. I'll put it towards the top of my "to buy" list :headbang:

Stock sidemarkers....

Is anyone selling their standard sidemarkers? I have a UK model and am after the left & right standard (red) rear sidemarkers. PM me if you have removed them (to swap out with LED ones, for example), and want to sell!

Now found some, thanks to all who PM'ed
