    Reverse lights

    The back-up lights seem a bit dim on my car. You can see them well from behind, but they don't really give out enough light to let me see what im backing into. Anyone know of a way to get some brighter light back there?

    do they look about normal?
    Maybe check the bulb connections, and see if the lenses are dirty.
    Other than that, wire up a spotlight on your bumper,

      The backup lights are for others to see you. Not so much for you to see what you are backing into.

        If you REALLY need to, just rest your foot on the brake so that the switch triggers. The brake lights come on, giving a tad more light, and you can still move the car just fine.

        However i dont see why you would need to do this.

              Get a new reverse light switch for your transmission.

                Or check the wiring under your shift boot

                  Did anyone else get a laugh out of that?
