Add More Light When Reversing

When I use my reversing camera at night the picture is not very good in low light, so I decided to look around for something easy to fit and that would give me more light at night in reverse.

I found these little bad boys on the Bay and for £4.99 I thought they would be good and not to obtrusive.

Fitted them in a couple of hours and I think they look ok..

Narpy what details do you want?

Sydney

I will take a picture later when its dark so I can see the spread of light, it should be good because you can't look at them in day light as they are that bright, being LED's but I just need it to spread across the back of the car.

Ok, clearly not the most talented photographer but I am sure you can see the difference, standard bulb on the left, much greater puddle of light from the right.







The light at the top right is my camera flash - for a comparison

Yes standard £2.75 for whatever you can get in a jiffy bag less than 2kg
