Has anyone ever replaced their reverse lights with a LED type. And I and wandering if you can get this in red LED. I am putting a rear fog in my left reverse light and the bulb that came with the kit is obviously too big to fit, so I doing a few modifications to the kit by swapping a small part of the wiring harness so add the proper bulb to fit. I'll post some pics when the project is done.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

 

I actually have 2 extra hyper white LED's for reverse, are you interested?

 

i am interested.

 

i had them they werent as bright so i went back to normal bulbs

 

it's not too good of an idea if you're looking for light output, because the LED's are focused on a small area, unlike glass bulbs, so it will not illuminate the ground at night.

 

i have the 9 led bulb from autolumination in my reverse lights.... its not bright at all.. but ehh.. i dont really care.. its my ricer mod.. yay it looks good at night

 

why would you want red reverse bulb?

Whole point of reverse light is to warn people, not to light up the road

 

well they work well to light up the road too....where i live, it is pitch black...the only light at night is from the moon....when backing up out of my driveway, i usually just coast in neutral, cuz it's on an incline, but at night, i always have to put it into reverse to avoid hitting the trees or the mailbox and fence across the street...

 

I have the red LED in my left reverse light. It’s re-wired as rear fog light. I had to do it because it’s mandatory here in Europe.

 

Yea.....they aren't that bright but do you still want it?

 

What kind of LED's do I need for my rear brake lights? Is there a site that I should check out?
Thanks

 

www.sylvania.com somewhere on there they have automotive lights

 

LES reverse lights are mandatory in Europe?

 

Well if you read what BudVlad posted I think you'll understand why I want a red LED reverse light. It's actaully not going to be a reverse light, but a rear fog light, which will not be used on a clear night, but in foggy conditions or any kind of severe weather where visibility is low and you'll save yourself from being rear ended because you can be spotted much more easily. Unless of course someone is talking on their cell phone or not paying attention under these conditions then anything can happen even in broad daylight.

Now since I will have only one reverse light remaining I might opt to swap that bulb for a higher wattage bulb to provide better backing up visibility at night.

 

No, a rear foglight is.
