tha performance that makes a diffirence
[:D][:D]instead of slow flashing it will be ON OFF ON OFF like the school buses. I will replace mine when I receive mine today. It cost me $90.60 for the front and back except the reverse, which I will replace it to 55watts halogen bulb soon.[:)][;)]

I have the DesignTech 50 Watt Super Bright Halogen Back-Up Bulbs and they make a big difference!!
Especially with the ML's privacy glass.

Yes and no on the brightness issue. The bulbs are a heck of a lot more intense when viewed at the directly back angle (such as the position that a driver behind you would be stationed at). However "no" in that they are a bit more directional and hence have a smaller halo. Some people interpret a larger halo as being brighter, when this is not necessarily true.
The biggest advantage of the LEDs are that they light up almost instantaneously, providing the driver behind with more warning that you're braking. This is extremely important, at least to me, when driving in heavy stop-and-go traffic. Of course, the fact that they will probably last for a lifetime of the vehicle (and can be used in future vehicles) is an added bonus!!
I would highly recommend the high mounted 20" LED strip or the rear wing with the LED strip as well.
