My reverse light are getting real dim lately so I was wondering if there are any bulbs made that are brighter for reverse so that I can see alot better backing down the driveway.

 

Your lens may be getting cloudy with age. A good polish might help you out.

OR

Google "1156 halogen" and you may find what you're looking for. It's a 50W halogen bulb with a 1156 base. If you use these, be careful because they get extremely hot and can melt the reflector - for backup bulb use it should be OK since the light isn't on long enough to transfer all that heat to the reflector or lens.

I'll look into those. I am looking into getting IROC tail lights anyways. Mine are starting to spider web around the edges.

 

Something else to consider; you should check your bulbs and make sure you are getting whatever the reading of battery voltage is at your bulbs.

On old cars, I find I sometimes have to either replace the reverse light switch or just cut in a light relay and use the switch to turn the relay on and then let the relay run real battery power to the light bulb. It works great and gives much brighter bulbs. Also, make sure that you have an excellent body ground from the light bulb sockets.

I do this to tail lights and headlights too if they seem too dim.
