What reverse bulb works better

G'day all,

I am looking at replacing my reverse bulb, I want that blue look during the day, but I want a better than stock bulb output at night, at the moment I think I have got it down to two I was wondering if I could ask for other opinions thanks

I am looking at
A) Eaglite 194 5w Superwhite Bulbs
B) Hybrid bulb Hyper White 194

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated,

Take Care

I asked the same thing about two months ago, and I ended up going with the Polarg M-6 hyperwhite bulbs. I think they look the best and are pretty bright when you do back up!

my brake lights are what give me light

Guys the stock reverse light will provide better light. I have PIAA hyper whites and I can't really see much when backing up. You sacrafice seeing for the look. Just like fogs, the more yellow the bulb is the better it will cut thru the night at closer distances.

I tend to agree about the OEM's. I've replaced mine with PIAA's before,but in pitch-black darkness i could not see anything being lighted up behind me. I even thought the bulbs may have stopped working.

I went back to OEM almost immediately.

does it matter how bright the tail light, reverse or stop lights in the rear are, or can you have them bright as you want?
