Back Up Lights

Is it just me or do FD back up lights suck, mine shine like a dead flashlight

. Has anyone made theirs brighter (different bulbs, etc..)?

They do suck. Not sure why but I think it has to do with the lack of cup holders. No fix that I know of on either front.

That's a very good question. It's interesting you wrote that. Just a few minutes ago I was looking at the Rear Tail Lights 1999 Spec and was wondering if anyone has customized these lights.

You've surely made a good point if anyone has made theirs brighter.

I've been thinking of using LED light bulbs to replace my backup lights to see if I can get any more light back there. Bright white should do the trick.

Nexcis let me know if you do this, and what you think of the results. It sounds like a promising improvement.
