License Plate Reverse light

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...

Can I add Auxiliary Lights to the Reverse Lights?

Well, since I have 8 weeks before it comes in, I have lots of time to learn and wonder about stuff. My last Ram was a 2000 extended cab 4x4 2500 sport w/ Cummins and that was back in 2000. I had a hard time backing up with tinted windows so I added auxiliary lights on either side of the back...

Reverse Off Road LED Lights

Just my own spin on adding some back up lights. Most people that I've seen do this have them hanging lower than what I would prefer, or seem to be flimsy. Parts List: LED's: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00G620ZVU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_4Dy7DbE582VHH U-Bolt...

Reverse lighting upgrade

Love the Rebel EcoD and it's 25mpg around town, but one glaring (pardon the pun) inadequacy is the reverse lighting. Looked at the cube addons that some have used and the hitch receiver frame mounted lights, but wanted something less conspicuous. Settled on these and decided to mount them on...

Hey guys, I'm looking at installing 2 aux reverse lights...I bought the curt 56584 harness and I need some direction on what to wire where! Each light has a black and red wire...I attached a pic! Any help is appreciated!!!! Thx

Multi function rear auxiliary lights.

Hello all, I have a 21 ram. The aftermarket rear bumper has auxiliary leds, they are currently controlled with a switch in the cab. I would also like them controlled with the factory reverse lights. I was going to pick up the signal from the reverse lights and add it to pin 85 on the auxiliary...

💡 Upgraded LED Reverse Lights. Easy installation

The reverse lights on these newer trucks seem to be just for looks, they don't output any light. I was driving a customers truck in our parking lot and I simply couldn't see behind me. Its dark before and after work right now, and we've had a ton of success with these 8" lightbars, so we came up...

Well I tried the Luyed leds but something is wrong with wiring. BUT I like the look and size. I will have to figure out what I did wrong with the wiring this weekend.

Somewhere in the linked threads above, someone also installed these. Very low profile and I figured I'd give them a try. Ordered through aliebaba or some such, took 6 weeks but things are a mess in China right now. They come with double sided tape, and I drilled 2 small holes each side to zip tie for a little extra security.

I would like to say Thanks for all the good ideas and suggestions here on this post. I borrowed some of these ideas on put them to use on my 2020 3500.

I only have them taped, for 9 months now, still no movement, so good tape apparently. I did stick them almost immediately when the truck was brand new and clean.

I actually found some at Walmart in the automotive section recently.
Grabbed a set for spares, $12 I think.

Thanks, I'll check next time I'm there. The tailgate light bar provides plenty behind the truck, but might be nice to add for lighting on the sides of the rear bumper.

Wonder why Ram hasn't fixed the horrible backup lights or have issued a safety recall on the poor lighting. Still haven't decided what route I will go with for additional back-up lights. Leaning towards the LED light strips that are also used for brake and signal lights under the tailgate.

The LED under the tailgate is a great option. I opted for the OPT7 tailgate lightbar with sequential, but at the same time I am one who can't stop modifying a vehicle till its traded or sold, so I am looking to add additional lighting. Probably try to wire for a switch as I won't need the additional light all the time.

The strips shown above look great, although I wish there was a way to itegrate the lights above better...i.e. to have them mounted behind the plastic with an oval cutout for the light itself. It seems easy enough, so I may attempt and post my results.

The reserve light is just to let surround peoples that you are back out not mean to provide lighting.

How i added rear lights

So I ordered these lights and mounts from amazon. Install wasn't too bad. I ran power from a switch box I had previously installed. You could also wire them as reverse lights. I should've included a pic of them on at night. They're pretty bright for the cost, but obviously not high end...

Aftermarket Upgraded Reverse Lights

Anyone have a reverse light solution? Seems like the reverse lights are pretty meh on my pickup. Looking for some more brightness. Looked at the under tailgate lights, but I don't want the brake and turn signals. Just bright reverse lights.

Well this isn't a write up for reverse lights (for lower grille lights) but is to good to be lost in "what did you do to your ram today"
Post #24773

What did you do to your Ram today???

I ordered the SX version so it rotates. Got a hose anyway just to help me direct the flow. Thought about the collapsible oil bag from valvomax, but decided against it.
