Default Backup Bulb Upgrade

2011 RAM 1500.

One of my backup bulbs called in sick, and burned out.

I believe the replacement is a Sylvania 921, 17.9W, 2800K, 264 Lumen

Will switching to a Sylvania 921 ZEVO, LED, 2.5W, 6000K, (possibly 400? Lumen,) cause any problems electrically (or computer,) and be brighter?

I really can't find any definitive info anywhere. Sylvania says it is a direct replacement/upgrade.

$10 for the 921 2pack, $20 for 921 ZEVO 2pack w/lifetime warrantee.

HELP!

Thanks, and yes, I recognize the significance and ratings of Kelvin and Lumens. I understand Kelvin ratings. I just can't find real mentions of lumens on the LEDs anywhere, or know if the much lower wattage draw in this type of installation would cause any computer type problems.

The prices of this bulb are all over the block - from 19.95 to 29.95. Some, plus shipping. Thank you internet shopping. I got a pair for 19.95 delivered by next Monday.

Thanks again!
