Backup Lights

[Ghost in the Darkness]

Anyone "tamper" a little with them and find a brighter bulb or maybe a better lense?

Avoid backing, you'll be all set!

I do the best I can with the equipment provided by the company. It’s not my job to alter or improve their equipment.

If they wanted you to have brighter back up lights they would provide them

GOOD LORD--you have backup cameras now. Let me tell you how tough we had it.

Actually a good idea. The old black and white backup cameras worked better in nightime conditions too.

Just go in reverse til you hit something or hear a scream. Then deliver package and haul ass out of there.

I'm out in very rural areas after dark. I encounter very little traffic. I often nose in a driveway and back out into the road where the main obstacles are mailboxes and the ditch. All I'm saying is it would be nice to have enough light to follow the methods in these situations. I will take off the lenses one of these days and see if i can find a cheap bulb that shines brighter.

Take some 00 00 steel wool and buff the backup light lens. That might give you some extra light. Also, ask the shop. Maybe a stronger bulb can go in?

Always back first. Get a good flashlight and some duct tape

Don't you have the LED backup lights?
If not write them up and have a mechanic install them

Backing up must have been a real bitch for you.

Actually no it wasn't hard at all. Get the big picture driving in, put it in reverse, tap the horn a couple times and watch your mirrors. We backed up as much as we wanted to with very few problems. It's this younger generation who seem to need someone holding their hands to do anything.

I just wish the backup lights would come on when in neutral..

 

[I have been lurking]

Aren't they sealed LED's?

Horses can't reverse

If your mechanics were motivated, they could have easily and cheaply upgraded them with interior LEDs from ADA cars. I frequently did rhat when they were handy

 

[1BROWNWRENCH]

Please don't tamper with them

Why don't people understand this

And we all wish runners like you wouldn’t coast in reverse to meet some managers backing metrics so he gets more MIP.
