Osram Reversing light

[Wooley1000]

Hi All
I'm new to the forum and was wondering what people have done to improve the dire reversing lights on a T6.
I have a converted T6 LWB and thought it would be a great idea to buy an Osram reversing working light to either go on top of my roof rack or under the rear bumper.
My problem is having no electrical knowledge and not getting much help with different electricians I have asked, is what is the best way to wire it up.
I have noticed on the market lots of wiring light looms which you just connect to lights and the battery and relay and hey presto they work but non are long enough for a LWB van.
Am I missing something so simple I just can't see it.
Thanks in advance.

I uprated the bulbs to LEDs which made a big difference. Mine has barn doors so has a lamp each side. I’ve read the tailgate only has one working reverse lamp - maybe worth checking and see if the other side is present but not wired up?

My Flush Work/Reverse light solution

I wanted to add a utility, ditch and reversing light combo but as I have a tailgate the usual position on the roof rack was out because when the tailgate is up it blocks most of the light. Flush fitting LED lights off Amazon etc. would have been perfect but I have learnt from past experience...

Upgrade Reversing light

Good morning good people of the Internet. Do any of you feel that the reverse light on the T6 doesn't cut the mustard? I think it's nowhere near bright enough and can barely see what I'm reversing into! Have any of you done any modifications to rectify this? I'd be interested to know as I'd...

Reversing light. Canbus system

Looking at replacing my single poor p21 reversing light bulb for led replacement. Is the reversing light part of the canbus system. Or can I use any bulb.

Thanks for that. I have the barn doors as well. What bulbs (make) did you install and was there any problem after? Thanks

Did you try these.
I’m about to order some DRLS for my H7’s and might get some reverse bulbs while I’m at it. Recently got some of the Travelinlite ones for £6 but I don’t think they’re much brighter than standard.

Cool thanks.
Ordered.

 

[LBird80]

@F2JON these ones mate.

Also just ordered. £9.99 for one, or £19.99 for a pair, so I ordered two singles. I saved a whole penny! I needed to spend 2p more for free shipping, so some polish went in the basket too. Yes I am a sucker.
