Back up/ Reverse LED lights?

[slammed83mazda]

Is there a certain bulb we can swap into the tail lights to make it a little easier for guys like me with 10% window tint to back up late at night? Trying to go this route before I go buy some accessory lights and mount them up under my hitch.

I don't mind adding resistors and such if I have to, just trying to do homework on this before hand.

Yes and no. I thought I could get away with LED bulbs in my taillights AND have LEDs in the bumper. I still cant see S H I T at night with my tinted windows. I am Going to get a set of Hella fog lights and tuck them up under the bumper like I had on my old truck. I had them high enough you really couldn't even see them till they were on.

Thats disappointing to hear. After seeing your truck in the dually thread I was going to steal the bumper insert idea. But if you're claiming theyre not the best, I wont bother then! Fog Lights it is!

I think Brad also uses the pre-92 tail lights as the reverse lense on them wraps farther around the sides. Every little bit helps.

Thoes 5w cree LED bulbs from retro are BRIGHT! But with 10% prolly still aint enough.

Brad.. instead of hella lights, how about some dully D2s. Little more cash but it u get the widest beam angle, i feel they would do a much better job for reverse lights. Or get a set of the regualr dullys and save 100 bucks

I just bought this 54W Heavy Duty Off Road LED Light Bar | Work & Off-Road Lights | Super Bright LEDs

I am building a headache rack and this will be mounted on the rack for backing up.

Sorry. I cant justify spending $200+ on backup lights
