Having had the truck for quite a few months & now we've entered into shorter days, I've noticed how bad the "single" reverse light on the nearside is :rolleyes: :(

What have you guys done to vastly improve light whilst reversing.
I've already been looking at some LED lights, but most I see are for the front & are as a result a little on the large side.
I would like to fit something that gives a good spread of light, but sits quite flush to the bumper.
I thought about a strip of LEDs like some of the after market DRLs seen on some vehicles.

Advice & pics of your rear end (ooh Matron) would be nice.

I've seen some of you guys with light bars, but one is not on the cards for me.
 
Here we go 2 extra 21w lights

Nice Fog light used to do me !

I think there is a regulation covering reversing lamps max of 21 W it used to be but you could have a pair.

On my old Mini I had a boot mounted old fashioned Fog lamp connected in with an isolating relay. Technically it was for off roading but in reality I used it all the time.
 
Think mine are 14w each but it's passed 2 mot's at 2 different mot stations with these fitted.
 
Thanks for the replies :thumb2

With all the pics you ask for Mr Zipp I thought you'd have something better than a very overly exposed blur ;) :lol


Jim. Could you take some of the lamps in the day light please?

They're not what I'd imagined :lol

How did you fit them to your truck? I guess you cut two holes in the bumper!

I didn't wanna start cutting holes.

Sorry Mr Zipp, I'll let someone else have them.

I thank you all the same :thumb2 :thumb2
 
Here, fixed to the bar
