Reverse lights
 
Do we have reverse lights on the tail light? I know at the bottom there are lights for reversing but are there any coming out of the tail light? I just got my car back after an accident

No reverse lights in the tail light assemblies, only in the light assembly that is in the diffuser

It's not that bright.

There is a kit where you can move the reverse lights to the rear blinkers. Its part of the tail as turn kit from Diode Dynamics.

Here you go...

They are plenty bright they are just so bloody low they don't do much. You never noticed before you crashed the car?

Probably got rear ended while reversing.

I have an aftermarket backup cam that lits up 4 LEDs when reversing.

I just replaced my OEM bulbs with LED. I posted about them in the cosmetic mod section and they are great. here: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=115118

They look like headlights in the back: https://www.amazon.com/Rayhoo-15-SMD...igh+power+2835

I keep on the brake enough to activate the lights as they are more useful even. Need to get around to installing my backup cam

i have Valenti bc of this. Helps other vehicles notice me. If all else fails, I softly rev twice.

I tend to tap my horn as I back in any car I drive.

yeah as Impureclient said, get the ones he is showing. I did some with ones similar and they are BRIGHT. I also have an aftermarket backup cam that has leds too. So I never have an issue seeing what is behind me and they see me too.


Also changing other lights on your car to brighter led isn't a bad thing too! I change my cab light to an array.. A bit bright, but I like it.


You can also get this kit

I bought the same one a few days ago and just got them last night. I did it because of the suggestion this user had made. Hopefully I'll be able to install it tonight!
