I need to replace my reverse lights because they arent bright enough, anyone know what reverse lights part # i need and where to order them??

 

hey thanks for all your help, this post is lost to page 2...

 

the reverse lights on a maxima suck, best you can do is change to LED's

 

go to any autozone, they'll be able to tell you exactly what you need, and it should cost you about 3 bucks.

 

did you try reading your owners manual?

for regular tasks like changing bulbs it tells you where every bulb is located, what type it is, and how to replace it.

 

The stock bulb is #921 (18W) but like aspec0002 said you can use LED's.

I've tried using 194 LED bulbs but it still doesn't look bright enough. So, the best thing is to to get some LED's from ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=3838458165) and soldier them onto a circuit board. Check out David Warner's page for some ideas on how to do this http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/232284/9.

 

LEDs suck my white a$$...They don't emit anything past something like five feet...i have PIAA 1156 in the back up lights on my max and they are rockin! Plus I have a backup camara that helps a lot....good luck yo!

 

a custom LED install with 13000mcd led's owns

 

valid point....my idea only costs $14 and two minitues though.....damn show offs! : )

 

i went to autozone... with what it said in the owners manual... and they couldnt seem to find any bulbs that were replacements... i wasnt just asking a stupid question, it was a legitimate one... thanks linkage, im apt to follow your advice.... are your new bulbs the same size or does it require any work modding?

 

Man, now I'm thinking of buying a backup camera. Where does one acquire one of these things?

 

also using the piaa 1156's, did you have to rewire your backup lights since its a higher wattage bulb??? did you change the fuse for the lights?

 

Look on eBay...that is your best bet...I got mine for only like $200 and it works real swell! It even has a night-vision option which i highly recommend!

No rewiring for the 1156 reverse lights...just plug and play....They are really, really bright a$$ lights too!

 

i bought the piaa 1156 back up bulbs, and they arent plug and play at all, they arent even close.... the bulb that is in there now pushes in, while the 1156 screws in. im confused.... PLEASE HELP

 

you may be able to buy a 1156 harness and have it fit but thats about it.


95-96 - 1156
97-99 - 921 but i'm pretty sure 906 will fit.

you can sell me the 1156s for $5!

 

and It could be even brighter! If you had 1157 bulbs and soldered the 2 bottom terminals, that would be brighter but run more wattage. I'm sure it would be OK unless you just sit in reverse for like 20 mins a day

 

anyone think i can take a harness of a 95 or 96 to use these bulbs on my 99? they dont make really bright bulbs for my 99.....
