Is there a different bulb I could use for the back-up lights? The stock ones kinda suck IMO(hard to see backing up)

 

There are brighter bulbs but they produce minimal gains in light output from what I heard. I think your best bet is to put a set of thin fog lights under the bumper to get the biggest bang for your buck.

Mine cost just $25 from AutoZone and work like a champ. I was worried at first thinking they couldn't possibly be bright enough or high enough quality for just $25 but I was wrong, they're great. Only took about 20 mins to install and wire up.

 

i am looking for a similuar set up on my 08 where did you mount those too?? drill into the bumper? or Hitch?

 

Here is a link to a backup light that plugs into your 7 point plug. I have had one for several years and it works great. $20 plug and play.

Im thinking about buying those today! They look good! Dumb question, Are the bulbs replaceable?

 

Yes, most aftermarket fog light housings utilize the H3 bulb.

Here are mine:

Just did Sharper4's back up lights and it turned out perfect! They work great!

 

Bama,

Do you know how far out that backup light in your link projects?

thx.

 

I know what it looks like (duh) but lets see your final results!

 

My favorite one is the $20 round flood that sticks in your 7 way tow plug. Lowes and Northern Tool carry them down here. Installs in 5 seconds and works awesome.

 

I will try to get some pics today
