P21w Reversing Light - Led Alternatives

[Dilbert]

Has anyone got any recommendations for replacing a P21W reversing light bulb with an LED equivalent?

Some of the good P21W's available for DRLs have a projector lens and I am not sure they are the best choice for seeing a wide angle with the reversing camera?

I would appreciate any successful solutions that have been found - without the need to add an extra lamp under the bumper!

Thanks.

Mine are still working fine, are they still available?

Got LED’s in mine, have had them in for 18months and never had any problems. They are so bright it’s amazing, the visual clarity in the camera when reversing is incredible.

Looks like yours were capless W16W and not P21W?

Do you know where you got them? Are they P21W as some clusters use W16W.

Thanks.

They came from amazon, but can’t remember who/ where.
They are P21W

@Johnod17 any thoughts on their performance? Thanks.

I think it’s a little better,but want to put the original back in when it is dark to see the difference.
Will let you know

Tried these both out tonight,LED brighter .I think it is because they are ice white ,it’s a shame the T6 does not have two like the T5.
But it is an improvement

Thanks for the update. Do you have a link to the specific LED bulb you purchased?

Cheers .

I’ve got these in my T6 with the rear LEDs. Had them in a few months, no problems so far.

Thanks @Salty Spuds . Yours are the W16W. The P21W is what I need for my van.

Thank you @Peatey. Yes, thats the type. Presume you found they improved the light output and were worthwhile?

They were certainly better but the problem is only have one light.

Once i had upgraded to led units i still had to upgrade the reverse lights to led and now i can see for miles
