BogMonster Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Has anybody got a lead on a super-bright reversing light? The standard 21W LR offering is not great, when I bought the Puma it had LED lights on it and for illumination behind you at night, the LED option (which I think is Wipac) is if anything even worse. Ideally I want something that looks as close to the round original reverse light as possible, but is several times as bright. Not worried about whether it would pass a UK MOT. It must be easy to achieve with LED technology as the 20W LED light on my shed is brighter than a pair of headlights. Does anybody know of a supplier?

ianmayco68 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Can’t help on a reversing light but I use my led work light for reversing at night works a treat . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjan Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 We use the WIPAC white front lights as reverse lights on the Ninety - only because the Mrs. likes a bit "standard looking".. Whatever that is. The round LED work-/spotlights are very bright. Like others said - the high up rear work lights are very good for reversing in the dark..

BogMonster Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 I don't really want to fit a work light type but it might come to that. Thanks - any other info from others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roverdrive Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I fitted something like this https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=led+p21w&client=safari&hl=en-gb&prmd=sivn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjDxer02PbcAhXFDMAKHWd1C3oQ_AUIEigC&biw=768&bih=938#imgrc=62BoFBSbcGnmhM: and also doubled up the fog and reversing lights so there is one each side. I have also got an LED work lamp over the door which can be used to come on with the reversing lights with the ignition on, or manually from the rear door with the ignition off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianmayco68 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Another alternative , the stepson on his L200 wired in 2 small led work lights at bumper level that came on when he selected reverse , don’t know if you could make a bracket to bolt to the bumper or tow bar maybe .

Roverdrive Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 The fog and reversing lights I believe are NAS spec. The work lamp is a 27w LED unit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smego Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I have just wired in my rwun 18w work lights via a resistor, they come on about 70% power amd work a treat, if I want brighter I flick the switch for full power, simple diodes nicked from an old dc power supply stop the reverse light being back fed.
