Well I just got off the phone with Dingo's supplier and it seems that the bulb he's using won't work in the 07. If anyone comes up with the correct one for a 07 please post up which it is. Thanks.

After doing a search on this site, I think the 07 HB uses 1156 as back ups.

I pm'ed you

that site carries 1156 versions of the cree 5w too

I back up into my drive between hedge and Escape every night. Absolutely no problem.
Perhaps the HB"s lighting is weaker than the sedan?? Of course I use the side mirrors only.

CT and Dingo thanks for the info. Think I've got it.

I have two new cree emitters with the astigmatic lens

I will throw them in, and see what the illumination looks like
vs the clear lens version I have in the pics in this thread

---
nope

astigmatic doesn't improve visibility for the driver as far as I can tell...
