Reverse bulb

[menotu]

I would like to put a brighter bulb , maybe a led for the reverse to make it brighter to see better when I back up.
Anyone try this? If so what did you use, thanks

Most times you can’t just switch a standard bulb with LED, most times you have to put a load balancer in or it may throw an error warning.

not exactly what your looking for but it was my solution. A pair of small leds from TSC work great. only thing I’d do different is get a work light. These are more spot vs a flood light. They attach to the license plate bracket made for Jeeps.

I like that setup

I've replaced every incandescent bulb on my roxor with LEDs as soon as I got it. I used Amber side marker LEDs in the fender lights. The roxor doesn't have a BCM controlling the lights, it's a simple relay, so there won't be any issues.

That's only if it has a body control module.

I didn’t know that

@Colderweather86: what LED did you use for the side marker? It is the only incandescent left on my Roxor and I want to replace it.

The bulb type is written on the bulb. You're gonna have to pull it out and match it up.

@Colderweather: ok, I was aware of where the part number is on a bulb.
I'm away from my Roxor. Just thought you may still have a part number of the LED you bought.
I'll pull the bulb in a couple of weeks.

My roxor is buried in snow and ice, and it's 0° out. Too cold to go out there

Don’t quote me on it but I think it’s a standard 1157 For the reverse and a 194 on the side marker
