LED Reverse Light

I really hate the reverse lights. They look completely out of place, especially on the 2014 car.

The car uses 16W bulbs in the reverse light.

Do you think these work without an error?

Upgraded all of the incandescent down lights in the house to LEDs and we have had a couple stop working before the should have. Seems as though the longevity of LED bulbs is still dependant on quality of the manufacturer and even then you still seem to get the odd bad ones. Worth considering in addition to any error messages...

Yeah I agree but on the other hand the LED reverse lights in my Lexus have been there for 4 years and still going strong. You get what you pay for.
