Terry,
I installed my new bulbs last night, and I'm quite happy with the
difference!
My FLNAPA did not stock the halogen bulb, #795D, but they had #795,
which seems to work fine.
For those wishing to keep the cost down, I would think they could
replace the halogen for the backup and use the 50 watters and still have
improved reversing light.
Thanks for pioneering this improvement and sharing it with the list!
Larry
