This is for my 04 supercrew. So i was looking at buying some 55 watt reverse light bulbs. M questions is, how much can the stock wiring handle? I want to see more when i back up at night, but i didnt want to add aux lighting unless i had too. Thoughts? ideas? throw them all out here!

 

I wouldn't.

Probably going to have to do the reverse fogs. I've seen some pretty stealthy setups on here.

 

get some nice LED's from superbright LED's i have a set and they are pretty bright.

 

55 watts is a low beam headlight. Way too bright.

 

No way would I risk my factory backup light housings or wireing on 55 watt bulbs where 27 or 24 watts is normal. Plus, the housings aren't designed to aim such light.

I'ld find someblack plastic or stainless steel flood or fog lights, mount under neath the truck, forwards of bumper, and run them off a relay which is triggered througfh the regular BU light wire and I'ld put a switch on it too.

 

awesome, thanks for the replys guys, i just bought this truck back in july, so im still learning a bunch. Ill def be looking into some bumper lights of some sort. Ill start searching through the forum for pics a such. thanks again!

 

LEDs do not put off enough light output compared to a stock bulb. They appear brighter and get you more noticed, but they do not reflect light as well as the filament bulb does. I have LED bulbs that have 40 LED stubs and OEM was way brighter compared to these.

 

^^^ ive got a set of LED reverse bulbs in my camaro, they look freakin cool, but the light they give off compared to stock isnt that great. I ill be looking for something that actually brighter in the truck. Im still looknig around at soem bumper mounts.

 

I have leds in my reverse lights and they were much brighter then my stockers. I also have 55 watt auxillary lighting to, but had that before i got the leds
