They must be different. I got the exact ones from the link. It's cool though. Not like they were expensive.
LEDs?

2013 sedan was a design change, so it does have different rear tails from the 2012.

Could you tell me what led bulbs would be bright and fit this slot?

Someone with LEDs on a 2013+ sedan would need to chime in.

Yep, the guides says TBA... someone should says what he used...

I have a 14 Si Sedan and the bulb type I have found that is suppose to fit the reverse lights ( I have not yet received mine ) are 921 size bulbs. They are suppose to show up early next week so I will let you know if they fit when I get them.

Yes please let me know. I'm looking for brighter then my stock, possibly white as well. You ordered LEDs?

If you really want bright, look into CREE LED lights. A little more expensive than regular LEDs, but much brighter.

Thanks! I'm just hoping that the size he got fits, so I will know.

@Enigma346 Received my new back up lights today. They do fit and they seem to be much brighter than the factory bulbs. I have not done a night time comparison as it is still light out, will do one tonight though. Here are a couple samples from the garage.

Thanks! If you do a night time comparison can you leave one halogen in and one not as well so I can see that? If it's not too much trouble. Looks good from the pictures though

Sure, if I understand what you are asking, you want only one side lit up with just a halogen and the other side with the LED? I was planning a one and one comparison and both factory to both LED comparison. It is starting to get dark now so shouldn't be too much longer.

Your way sounds good too. I look forward to seeing the results!

Ok here you go. I was able to get some pretty good comparative shots. Keep in mind they were taken with the only camera I have, a Samsung Galaxy S5.
First the ambient compare in the garage.
The rest are out in a field so show usable light.
The first is both halogen bulbs the second is both LEDs. I know it might not look it but these are aimed at the same spot from the same distance.
Hope this helps in your decision to go with LEDs

definitely a nice increase...white light is nice

Yes I agree. I am pretty happy with the amount of increased usable light and how white it actually is. Unlike some LEDs I have seen pictures of where they might look brighter but usable light is actually diminished due to the design/power of the LED.

Very nice lights. I am very impressed with the way these perform in the pictures. Thank you for taking the time to do this.

No problem. It was fun for me to see the difference for myself too.
