Can't See Backing up @ Night!!!

I have a sportback, and the reverse lights are terrible. I can't see a thing, and its even worse because its a hatchback. Are there better bulbs that will be brighter? Anyone have this problem?

If u have the Nav, u can use the Camera. It's not cheap though, $409.43 + shipping for the camera, wiring harness and cover. I say just get bright LEDs.
I also have the same problem at night seeing while backing up but I think its cause I have 5% tint.

The stock wing also hinders alot of the view.. Once i got rid of that and the headrests, i was surprised how much i could finally see behind

If you need a site to get leds, First got to sylvania .com and get the buld type. Then use v-leds.com to get the bulbs. They have everything you would need to replace all of the bulbs with leds on the car it you wanted to.

I put these in. They were cheap from autobulbsdirect.co.uk
The bulb is the same size as OEM. The filament looks a bit bigger,
but no noticeable difference in light levels. Ive heard that LEDS
are brighter but dont cast as much light as a filament bulb so
I dont think they are the answer IMHO.
