OEM LED reverse lights are absolutely terrible...what have you guys done to address this?

[mac1983620]

I pulled a tail light out just to make sure I couldn't change any bulbs, and I can't... What have you guys done to address this? It's almost like there's no reverse lights.

Maybe it's me but I can see fine with the camera and the stock led lights. It's not like a floodlight back there but it's ok for me. I saw a thread about some aftermarket lights someone put on their hitch.

Did that, but thanks for the VERY helpful advice

I had tint on mine before and when backing up it was anyone’s guess. Took off that tint and back to normal. I’ll wait it out and see what the aftermarket brings to the table.

I mounted 2 4" led pods under the rear bumper and tucked them up so they are mostly hidden. Wired to the trailer reverse lights. MUCH better lighting while reversing

There are multiple threads on this so apparently you did NOT, and your WELCOME.

Tailgate light bar
It definitely helps I also have led reverse lights but I still might add a baja designs s2 backup kit and really get light back there. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Reverse light mod
Due to the poor lighting with the LED reverse light, I tried this today and pretty happy with the results. Let me know your thoughts... thanks! I don't plan on towing and if I have to, then it can be easily removed as I have installed quick disconnect connectors on the wires. The hardest part...

LED accessory back up lights?
This is great info. I yell every time i go to back up at night because there is horrible lighting on a 60k truck!! Did you create the connector? I wonder if i can just splice in to the correct with on the back side of the 7 pin plug. That was my plan with a Putco Blade i bought but it will...

This fits in the space below the tailgate and doesn’t interfere with opening? Seems like idea location for more light if it doesn’t cause any issues.

I have this. works great and led reverse produces plenty of much needed light.

I like rsmeanie 's application. But i have a question. Does is become dirty because of exhaust gas?

Another reverse LED idea

Another reverse LED idea

I just fixed the one area of this truck that bugged me. The reverse lights are too dim and I could barely see the curb when backing up. I bought these Soundoff Signal 4" LED pods. These are white only but they have 2 and 3 color models since they're designed for police cars. I didn't want to...
