Reverse Hids?

[Big Boi]

I know a couple of you have done this already. I have a spare kit, and want to install it in my tails for reverse lights. Which bulb fits, and what do I need to to?

 

[Musclemckeester]

I haven't done it yet, but I will very soon (as in I have the HIDs I just need time). Best of my understanding you just have to tap into the reverse light wiring that's already there for power and that's pretty much it.

 

[Big Boi]

I know that. But I don't know the bulb size I need.

 

[Musclemckeester]

Well...you asked what you need to do

H3 is what I got and understand to be what fits best.

Lol you guys are nuts how much do you drive in reverse i just look out the back window

 

[Musclemckeester]

One of the down sides to 5% tint....I'm going to have mine to a switch so I can use as rear aux lighting if I need it.

 

[quietpeen]

yup, tinted window makes it real hard to see at night...LOL

 

[Big Boi]

Exactly! I cant see **** outta my back window at night.

And seeing that I so happen to have an H3 kit here (was going to use them for the Hellas), I might do it this weekend!

Now what has to be trimmed, glued, etc?

Between tinted tails now, factory tint on the back window and a quad cab with a long bed it's pretty tough to see back there, I'd like all the light I could get
Throw a livestock trailer on and try just lookin out the back window lol

ive got hids in my reverse lights, the place that did my heads n fogs installed them. its a universal bulb with a rubber grommet, no cutting or glueing. they are only 15 watt hids so i leave them on at night when hooking up my trailer, your standard 35 watt hid kit will end up burning up the chrome releflective inside the lamp.. i paid 100 bucks installed for the kit.. anyone interested lmk
