Led Bulbs For Reverse Lights


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hey guys, I just put 5% on my truck, and backing up in the dark is quite hard considering you can barely see out of the back glass, in my previous truck it wasn't so bad because I had led bulbs in the reverse lights which light up a little better but that was a ford, so I need some suggestions on what kind to get for a 2010 sierra, any pictures would be great, I've been looking at some putco 360 led bulbs but they're $55. that's quite a bit of money for reverse light bulbs. give me some idea's or websites, all I want is the reverse lights, thanks! And if you have any led tailights that are much brighter backing up than stock let me see some pictures too please, i like the anzo ones

I have led's for back up and they are great for looks. matches the HID's i have in front but not a lot of help for brightness. Maybe add a light below that is hidden and shines down on the ground???

Yea, they're only about 300 lumens.

Only retrofit bulb I've found to be reasonably effective are the 50W halogens.

I bought a set of HID to just this. So far I have not had time to do it and I have two concerns. 1) is there enough power on the circuit or will I have to wire a new circuit. 2) are they going to blind people and maybe get the occifer's attention when I don't want it.

Reverse HID

 

 

that would be the funniest thing ever to do at a redlight, someone honks or flips you off just put it in reverse for a moment hahahaha well if led bulbs won't help me see then i guess i'll just be rolling down my window and hang my head out like i did for the past 3 years with my f-150

I was just exploring this idea last week. For the life of me I cannot find the website again. They had some LED panels in various sizes 3in by 4in etc with super bright outputs. It was on a site that supplied police/emergency/construction/tow vehicles. Thought I had bookmarked it. Try searching for led's for police use scene lighting.

 

Sorry I couldn't help more. I have the same issue with my Yukon XL super dark tint all around. Need the extra light.
