Reversing light not bright enough.....

[Exvec]

Hi all.Looking for a solution to my dim reversing light bulb which to be honest is next to useless,i have quite  a long driveway with no lighting so rather than going to the expense of fitting expensive driveway lights i would look into the cars reversing light bulbs,or if legal modify the current ones ?Anybody else have the same problem and if so how did you solve it ...cheers .

Could consider upgrading the bulbs - eg https://www.amazon.co.uk/Philips-0730526-12498VPB2-VisionPlus-P21W/dp/B005L9EZF6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1509742692&sr=8-1&keywords=Philips+vision+plus+p21w 

Supposed to be up to 60% brighter, yet are still road legal.

if you have 2 reversing lights think yourself lucky. T27s (& many other modern cars) only have 1 ..

Try a cree led bulb in it not the cheap Chinese crap. Or the 1 frosty says...on the other hand you could get led strips for under the rear bumper and link into reverse gear?

Only one unfortunately and it happens to be on the wrong side as well in relation to where i reverse up the drive to avoid the wife's car .

strictly speaking not road legal although you would have to be very unlucky to be picked up ...
