How dark is your tint? That probably has a lot to do with it. I don't have tinted windows and the zevos light up behind the truck just fine at night.
I was thinking of tinting this summer. But I'd keep it on the lighter side so it's easier to see. 30% rear and 50% front.

But at night, it's DARK. Sometimes even with my aux backup lights I have to roll down the windows to see.
TINT
OEM Incandescent in tinted tailights
Led in tinted tail lights (without AUX backup lights)
Tinted tail lights, LED backup bulb, and LED AUX backup lights, sorry no night shots yet

Got the zevo reverse lights in last night before work. While they are a definate i provement i was expecting more. It doesnt help with the tinted windows, may look in into another set up down the road but for now theyll be fine. I was expecting more light thrown backwards but maybe i just need to get used to them...anythi g is better than the stock bulbs.
Think i may go with the 921 zevos for the cargo lights and let the 3rd brake light go, i like my cruise control and dont wanna deal with adding a resistor.
Found the zevo 194 ambers on amazon for a lil over what i paid for the white zevo 194s so im gunna pick some up for my truck and my gf ranger.

True. I also think the stock reverse light housings are more for other cars/people to see you're backing up anyway. The reflectors seem to project the light in the same direction as the brake lights.
