Any way to inspect reverse lights? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hey guys,

Im thinking of changing my reverse bulbs to LEDs and wanted to inspect them - however I don't know how I can inspect my reverse lights without having someone else have to keep the clutch pushed in whilst the car was in reverse gear.

Anyone know a way for me to see the reverse lights come on without needing anyone else to help me keep the clutch pushed in?

Thanks!!

Turn the key into the "ON" position, but don't start the car. Then shift into reverse. Problem solved.

if you have garage just turn the lights off.
Usually I can see the rear a bit bright from the side mirror

I just did a reverse bar with 3 strobe breaking feature. To check if the bar worked I recorded it with my phone
