My reverse lights are so dim at night that I can barely see anything when backing up. Anyone have a link or idea to make my backup lights brighter?

Thanks

 

How old are the bulbs? While they still light, bulbs can be down on brightness over time. Cheap to replace the bulbs to see.

That & wash the lenses real good. Even get some plastic polish & polishing up the outside can help greatly.

 

No idea how old the bulbs are. I have had the car for almost 4 years and never changed them. I'll replace them like you said and clean the lenses thanks.

 

There is a halogen replacement with a 1156 base for back-up light use. I don't about putting a halogen bulb in a plastic enclosure with a plastic reflector, to me they might just get a little too warm.

i have the halogen 1156 reverse lights. i replaced both of them with the halogen bulbs. big difference- they're very bright. no problems- i've had them in for over a year and a half. i think it's worth it...i paid $10 per bulb.

 

there is also a 1156 style (not called a 1156 but it has an 1156 base) but its an incadesant 50w (its made for old school fog lights) but they are cheap and work great, i got them in my back ups and my under hood light (BTW i need a new underhood light socket and base )

advance, autozone, peps and all should have them, you have to have a real knowageable sales person or look where the fog lights are (not where replacement bulbs are normaly)
