Standard reversing light

[Sabre]

Does anyone know if the standard reversing light on the other side can take a bulb?
It's raining and I don't want to strip it down whilst getting wet...

 

[Sabre]

Bum. The violin emoji didn't work!

Depends on which lights you have.
My LED rears had both lamps(filament)

 

[Sabre]

The bog standard basic bulb ones. I know the led ones have both in. Looking for another project to do, quick-ish and easy.

The offside bottom light on the tailgate filament lights is a fog light, so no go.

Bugger. Cheers mate.

Yeah it’s a pain. I’ve got an LED in mine courtesy of @RedUn and it makes the world of difference.

 

[Sabre]

Had a feeling there wasn't a space there... No need to dismantle it now. Cheers @Spaghetti

Perfect excuse to retrofit LED rears.

@Spaghetti I have noticed that the reversing lamp is as crap as the H4 headlights, do you know which Led bulb you put in to improve things?

 

[Spaghetti]

It was a bayonet 21w equivalent, but I’m not sure which one. @RedUn was kind enough to provide it. He may be able to clarify.

Before I had LED tail lights with LED bulbs I fitted one of these under the rear bumper, no issues with seeing what’s behind.

A Few Exterior Light Changes

Hi all, I've changed a few bulbs on my 19 T6 Transporter, hope this is of some use. Caveat is that the changes have only been in for a couple of weeks so can't comment on longevity but so far so good. * Full LED headlight plug and play from Travelin-Lite, indicators led but not sequential...

LED Reversing lamp under rear bumper

I used to make mountain bike lights and sell them. that was a beam shot of one of my craziest lights though it is a tad more than 24 watts approx 20000 lumens here is a shot of my reversing light now its dark 12 watts and about 1500 lumens

Thanks for that. Just reading some other posts saying about errors with led bulbs. No probs with these or is there coding reqd?

Plug ‘n’ play for me. No errors.

Just changed the reversing light bulbs (one each side) in my 2020 T6.1 for LEDs ... now I can see the kerb when parallel parking . LED bulbs needed are W16W (aka 955); used these, fitted with no Canbus errors. Counter service or web order.

Hi mate! Is your T6.1 a tailgate or barndoor model?
