How can I get REALLY bright reverse lights?

MaxSteelRam · Sep 28, 2016

Swapping to LED from bulb will definitely help, but what LED should I look for specifically to get the brightest reverse possible? I have tinted windows and my driveway is pretty long, would like to be able to really light it up well.

Why not mount spot LED lights in the bumper or under it? I also have a long driveway but with the backup camera it isn't too bad. Other option is to just light up the edges of the driveway like airports do runways. Even the brightest bulb in the reverse light housing isn't going to do all that much if this is that big of an issue for ya. I have 5% tint and smoked taillights so I feel ya.

Yes I usually just wind down my windows even with LED reverse lights and LED spotlights under the bumper

i definietly don't want to mod anything to add external lights, and under the bumper sounds like a place to rust (salt belt).. so not too sure.

Cheapest solution is get 10-20 solar lights and line the driveway with them. However under bumper isn't going to rust out quality lights made by Rigid sincemost of their lights are made for tough weather and getting beat up, however they are expensive.

I had some plug and play LED reverse lights in my 2011, not sure if they will work on my 2015...<shrugs shoulders>

Add pods....they'll blow away ANY LED bulb you stick in the oem housing.

No rusting.

Diode Dynamics has some that should work. i was looking at these, but i'm thinking now i will go with a total LED tail light upgrade and add some under the bumper backups for my CC.

those look awesome, how do you wire them to come on with your reverse lights?

Wired into the trailer harness under bumper.

Did you T-clip into it? I guess i'll start looking for the pin out for the trailer harness to figure out which wire to tap into.

Yessir.

Off fuzzy memory but I think it's the middle wire? I'm not home to check.

Pretty sure it's the middle wire of the 7 pin.... if you look on the cover it shows the pin out on it.

Any pictures of the wiring and how you mounted them?

Wired off the white/orange in the trailer harness. Don't judge the tape job, was in a rush
