Best reverse light bulbs
I just traded in my 06 for a 13 and the reverse lights are not very bright at all! I did this "mod" to my 06 but that was many moons ago. . What bulbs are y'all using now? I don't need a "beam" as much as I need just a good clear bright light.
Thanks for any suggestions!
PS: For all the search police, I did search it but was hoping for more and more current opinions.

im using LED packs from www.v-leds.com
they have a couple different models, / color temps.
they made a huge difference, also you have to make sure the light is not 'picked up' by the backup camera if its equipped with one. I thought about one of their license plate backup lights, however im thinking I might need a cover, or the use of an L bracket above that so the camera is not affected..

I do have the backup cam. they don't affect it much. the times I do have it happen is when im backing out of my drive way. neighbors fence is right on the prop line, and my siding is white. brake lights are also high output V3's in the top and 21 led versions in the bottom. so the reflection of those on the one side- off siding does put a little glare. but normal situations , no problems.

if ya want more light that's yer best bet is to put a set of fogs under the bumper...
another way is the hid kit but I'd highly recommend a relay timer so the ballasts don't fire every time reverse is passed on the gear shift selector....a lot of jeep and hondas have gone this route...
