ChrisH Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Hi, I have a 99 D2 TD5 previous owner has put in darken windows all-round the back.. Yes looks great with a black car. But can’t see anything when reversing I am not sure it the reversing lights that are in the wings are that good. I see the later D2 have the reversing lights in the bumper... I live in the Country little lanes load of drops of side of the road but I might as well guess where to steer.. Has anyone added more light to rear of their cars without the use of roof rack... I believe if you add a lamp that is LED you don’t need to add more relays into the system... can i use use LED lamps in current light if so what are the most powerfull you can buy in the UK I do have a tow bar so I was thinking of fitting of that, I am trying to keep the car as normal as possible Any ideas would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigelw Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I have a wide beam work light on a bracket on the tow bar frame that really lights up the place, it is wired to the normal reversing lamps but it is an LED that is very bright, I will try to take a snap in daylight but no light as Battery is missing at the mo, bloomin pikeys!!!!

IanS Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I've fitted LEDs from ebay (around £12 or so IIRC) and they make a huge difference. Not being a drug dealer, I don't have tinted windows..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
