My windows are tinted and it is very difficult to see out my back window at night. The stock back up lights are just not bright enough. What are some options, opinions on brighter back up lights?
Brighter back up lights??

Are they direct replacements? Or do they require modification?

For reverse bulbs, its plug and play, no modifications. Other options are LED liscense plate bracket or an LED tailgate bar.

I have this same issue. Looking into getting some LED taillights and a LED light bar that comes on when I reverse. hoping it makes a difference!

I was going to go with the light bar. But a friend has one and it seems to be just for looks. Doesn't seem to make much more light back behind the truck where I need it. That's why I was looking for other options. Looks like I am going to be looking into the LED bulbs.

Yup just plug and play... I think they are the CREE Brand ones... Not totally Positive though.

you could buy some rigid or vision x lighting and put them somewhere on the back, run em into the reverse lights. that's what I might do. lights are pricey but iv seen them in action and damn they are bright. also IDk about rigid but vision x has a lifetime warranty.
