Are the reverse lights LED's or regular incadescent bulbs?

Perhaps The G Man or Big Bluu can answer that? They may have already changed them to LEDS if they are incandescent bulbs?

For what ever reason I have read that back up lights are not LEDs Not sure why yet.

Reggie,

I believe you are correct.... I too want to change mine out to LEDS but don't know of anyone who has done this particular mod.,would like to know what it involves?

I wasn't sure, but had a suspicion that they weren't. Their use (low use, high dispersion/flood pattern, white) lends itself more to an incandescent bulb.

I only ask because I am away from the car right now, so it anyone can verify, I would appreciate it.

Back up lights are usually incandescent bulbs, its one of those lights that I usually leave un-change because its function is more important than the way it looks.

Thanks G Man,

Seems like good advice and not mess with it.

BigBluu

the reverse light bulbs are indeed NOT led's. it seemed like a little more work to swap them out so i've put them off for now. i wanted them to match all my interior led's plus add more brightness. i use the backup camera a lot and sometimes the stock reverse lights are not bright enough.

thanks, it's actually better for what I am thinking about if it is an incandescent
