Reverse Lights?

[RadRacer]

Anyone know of any super bright reverse lights for my Camaro? Ever since I nightshaded my tails, I can barely see when I back out at night :( Not a good thing since I deliver pizzas in this car and am at numerous unfamiliar houses every night.

Re: Reverse Lights?

I have white led bulbs in mine and they are much brighter than the stock bulbs so they may work for you.

Re: Reverse Lights?

I dont think they really make any super bright bulbs you can use, they wouldnt be very bright with the nightshades anyway.

Try goin' to wal mart, buying a set of $20 fog lights, and mounting one, or both under your bumper, unseen and pointing toward the back of the car and wire them up to your reverse lights so they turn on, or put them on a toggle so you only use them when you need them.

I had a body guy that nightshaded my reas and I took 1000 grit, 1500 grit and 2000 grit sandpaper and wet sanded them, then polished them respectively, over the backup lights.

I don't see how you can hide them yet still use them....

I'm in the same boat: nightshaded tails and 10% tint; like I said, I'm at numerous unfamiliar houses at night, so I turn on all my lights on the rear (hazards, reverse and slightly hold the brake) just to get an idea of what's back there, then hope for the best. I really need to get something better before something bad happens :(

Re: Reverse Lights?

Well, I e-mailed the owner of autolumination, and he suggested i try out "THE BEACON". Ordering 2 of them later today, and will keep you guys updated; at $3.99 each, I'll be the guinea pig :P

:(

The car is low enough where you cant see them if they are tucked back a little bit away from the rear bumper,... they just would be much "less obvious" not completley hidden.

Re: Reverse Lights?

I hate autolumination. Bunch of bastards if you ask me. I spent 60 bucks on a set of bulbs from them that you could tell cost 2 bucks to make. Absolutely horrible, then charged me a 20% restocking and repackaging fee to return them plus me paying for shipping both ways. The packaging they came in was crumpled up newspaper. I would NEVER buy from them again.

I'm with matt on this one. Buy some cheap fog lights and mount them underneath the car aimed toward the back. It would be pretty easy to hide them.

^^Troy i found that place to be a bit pricey but the guy was always fast on shipping and helpful when i asked him questions

Re: Reverse Lights?

They must have had something against me or a different guy handling me because my responses were very polite and respectful in the beginning. Theirs were far from prompt and had the attitude that they simply didn't care that I wasn't happy with the product.

I'd agree with Tom; I emailed the guy at around midnite last night, and got up this morning to a reply, couple of questions on my car, and a recommendation for a bulb. Seemed nice to me. I'm going to see what I can pick up a set of fogs for tomorrow; might get them instead, don't know yet.

Re: Reverse Lights?

Went ahead and ordered 2 beacons; if I don't like them I'll complain and get a set of fogs instead.

Re: Reverse Lights?

I would just get some of these:

Re-based halogen bulb into the incandescent 1156 socket. Not sure if your socket takes 1156 bulbs though, my Firebird does. They can get alot hotter than a standard incandescent bulb, but as long as you don' keep it on for more than a few minutes then I don't see you having any problems. A lot cheaper than those LED bulbs too. I would also run it with a relay since it would be drawing more current.

EDIT: Just found out what "The Beacon" was. Essentially the same thing I linked above. Let us know how it works out.
