I have those 24's in my X and they look great! I'll try to get a few pictures on here as soon as I can, but if you want to put them in right away, go with the 24's. You won't be sorry!

Jvegas, the 24-bulb LED does not do justice to the whole reflecter...you'll just see the bulb, not enough on the sides. The 18-led is what I use in my brake and turn signals. Did you see this writeup?

I recommend the 18-bulb style for almost all applications...at least until a better design comes out.

Didn't you read my article buddy? Tested them in the turn/brake applications (brake would be equivalent to the backup, essentially)

These are the priciest LEDs out there right now, however, no better than the $30 pair SMT design, or the $15 dollar 18/20 -LED pair that I recommended to you initially...sorry to say.

Yes, they were good for turn and brake both, but I believe the 18-20 LEDs had a slightly brighter 'high' setting becasue of the type of LEDs it uses. I still think you will be happy with them, nonetheless, just poorer.
