Backup Lights

GatorFan · February 14, 2008

Anyone know or used brighter backup lights that replace stock bulbs? I know they make the fog light type back up lights but I am just looking for something to replace my factory bulbs. I know you can buy brighter stock bulbs from an autoparts store but I was wondering if they made LED style bulbs that make it VERY easy to see behind you when you put it in reverse. It is a PITA to backup with tinted windows at night using only your mirrors.

Thanks,

I know what you mean at night my back windows are practically solid black. I didn't use LED's but I put PIAA Xtreme white bulbs in and they help a bunch.

Little on the pricey side but I think they are worth it.

Thats not too bad, i'll consider it. I have a crewcab with tint, & I have smoked tails so its probably hardest for me to see

Those look great, but I can't find them on ebay. Anybody know of where I can get these (online or not)?

Shawn84 · February 17, 2008

the highest amount replacement I have found is only 30 LEDs. I am curious now, your's look great.

Just ordered my PIAAs tonight. The price wasn't really that bad considering how it will keep me from backing over something now that I will be able to see. Now I have to wait on UPS

Thanks again for the info/link Rocco715

this is where i got mine off ebay

they are alittle more expensive than i remember, but worth the money. i had to lightly file my housing down so that they will fit through. it doesnt take much.
