Reverse light LED help
I am going to be doing the LED in the reverse light mod, and I am not sure which color LEDs to use. I am afraid that if I use white, they will be too bright, and if I use red they might not be bright enough.
Thanks for any help, and here is a link to the mod in case anyone is wondering:

48 LEDs total. 24 LEDs a light. I hooked 4 LEDs in series and then each group of 4 LEDs I have in parallel. I then hooked the negative wire to ground and the positive side to the brown wire on the tail light. I only have 2 wires coming off each backup light. I thought it looked very clean. The LEDs that I put in did not have wires on them. With the way I did it I have 3 ground wires and 3 positive wires hooked to the 2 wires that go out to the tail light.
I used LEDs like this http://cgi.ebay.com/50pc-5mm-Super-B...em250070725753
