Reverse (backup) Lights

[Bama Stripes]

I have to back down a long, curving driveway after dark, and was looking for recommendations for brighter backup light bulbs to replace the OEM bulbs in my 2023 Lariat. I do not want to install auxiliary lighting. Thank you.

If you have the lariat style full led taillights you cannot change out the bulb. Your only option is auxiliary lighting.

you could do this

Or go all out with pods

I went the pod route and could not be happier!

Ditto on the DD pods. My only regret is getting the sports instead of the pros. I have the combo pattern, and replaced the driver's lens with a fog pattern to keep it low and wide.

What lens do you have?

I have the sport floods, they are great for reverse lights!

@SpaceWhiteF150 - are your tail lights LED with BLIS? Are you tapped in to the tail light connector to activate red/reverse pods?

Halegon with led bulbs, they make a connector for the oem led tails! Yes I’m getting power and reverse trigger straight from the tailights, I can also switch them on in the cab! I have upgraded since that pic!

I like these and I expect whatever new taillight I go with will have mediocre backup lights.

I have to look closer to see if these will mount under the bumper with the Tremor exhausts?!

Someone makes a kit for the tremor!! Pretty sure you can put them next to the tow hook!

I know this is an old post but Lariats have LED bulbs already, can't replace them. BUT for others and Lariat owners here are some options

CRYSTALUX XTREME SERIES BULBS
https://www.4x4truckleds.com/crystalux-xtreme-series-2-920-lumen-led-reverse-bulbs-pair/

These are for trucks with halogen bulbs. Some of the brightest plug and play bulbs on the market

Dual LED Light Reverse Kit w/Diode Dynamics Lights (7-Pin Trailer Harness)
https://www.4x4truckleds.com/dual-l...-diode-dynamics-lights-7-pin-trailer-harness/

This is a kit we came up with. It mounts under the rear bumper and ties into the trailer connection. NO CUTTING OR SPLICING. It plugs IN LINE behind the bumper and you DO NOT lose your trailer connection either

Baja Designs S1 Universal Hitch Light Kit
https://www.4x4truckleds.com/baja-designs-s1-universal-hitch-light-kit/

This plugs into your trailer hitch and connects to the trailer wiring inline

Similar to the Baja Designs one only from Diode Dynamics. This features a red back-light and has an optional brake function
