Default LED reverse lights

Yesterday had a new head unit installed along with a back up camera. Daytime picture is spot on but night isn’t so good and would like to improve visibility. I want to Plug in some bright LED reverse lights. What’s a good brand with a decent price to go with? Thanks

Check here. I bought the backup lights and the license plate lights. Huge difference.

Maybe a better camera. The camera I have on my c-6 has a great picture even at night. My new Subaru has a horrible night camera, but the camera on my Hyundai elantra has a great night camera.

Definitely go with Vette Lights. My back up camera is made for low light at night but my reverse lights from Vette Lights make a big difference. Very bright.

Just buy the brightest set on amazon for the price you're willing to spend. Mine were like 20 bucks and are insanely bright.

Many backup cameras include IR LEDs for nighttime use.

VETTE LIGHTS for the win here. I recently added their license plate lights, reverse, fogs, parking light switch backs and low beam HID's. Their lights are awesome. Here is a pic of the license plate lights. Reverse are very bright compared to stock.

Thanks for the kind words guys, glad everyone is loving the LED's!

We can definitely get you fixed up with our brightest available series - they have about 300% stock output and are an absolutely insane improvement!

Bought an Alpine b/u camera, about $25, & view at night is better than my newer vehicles with integrated cameras...

Do you need to add resistors to LED replacements if you’re just switching out incandescent backup lights in a C6?
