I can't see. Annoying. Any good replacement bulbs for the 04 S60R? My old 940 had halogens available

I also use LED 5W Cree Bulbs from ebay. The only difference is that the ones that i have, have LEDs around the projector to fill the housing, but use a single cree led projected outwards.

I have 18% tint on my car and these completely light up the back of the car. Highly recommend.

i think he has the same ones as me, i set him up with what to get after he saw mine :)

Steve, any issues with the housings getting to hot? melting?
seems like a lot of heat to pump to those considering they are 9005 and since they are HID require warm up.

wow.. I think ill be looking into getting cree leds. or 50w halogens depending on what lays more light on the road.. I have 68led bulbs for the reverse but they seem to be more for show because they suck at putting the light on the road.. I have 20 percent tint and I can't see ****.. I've always gotta turn on the fogs in the back. Hence I don't trust those pictures any more from ebay.. All advertising BS. Anyways, I see you guys linked it to 5w Crees but now I'm seeing 7 and 10w crees.
