Reverse light options

[DrDog]

Hello all.
I have a new to me 2020 ram lone star built to serve crew cab. The windows are heavily tinted, and I need more light in reverse. I ordered lasfit led replacement bulbs after some research and videos. When I went to change them, I soon realized that my lights were not like the videos. Now I know that I have the blind spot sensors and the unit is sealed so I can’t just replace bulbs.
I got the truck as an upgrade to a 2012 with the small v8 so I could tow more. I would prefer to leave my hitch in place so the 2 inch receiver plug is out. Other suggestions? Camera helps but more light still helps locking farm gates and turning around on farm roads. Opening rear window helps but one side is now doubly tinted (sliding).

There are lots of options on here. Just do a search and you will find them. A lot of people put little puddle lights under the bumper and wire it to the trailer wiring.

Maybe remove the excessively dark tint and have the windows retinted lighter? I’ve hade a couple vehicles with 5% limo tint and hated it. I had to roll down the windows to be able to use the mirrors at night. Had the windows retinted to about 25% and it solved my problem.

License Plate Reverse light

I did LED bolt lights. Definitely brightened it up, clean look, and doesn't interfere with the tailgate.

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...

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...

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

Finished, these are the Rigid Ignite diffused. Made a big difference! Really would like to see how you mount those on bumper in daylight. Thanks.
