Upgrade Reversing light

[1up]

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 like to do something to sort it.

Yep it's rubbish. I keep my foot on the brake pedal to keep the brake lights on.
It could do with a led under thebumper
I haven't got a camera yet but it's on my list so I was hoping that works in the dark. I have a manual so could do with three legs.

Agreed its not the best, only having the light on one side doesnt help, i added a rear camera and upgraded my rear lights to LED which have reverse (and fog) lights on both sides

Mine is ok. But did option led light pack...

'T6 in inadequate lights as standard' shocker

VW should be ashamed of themselves selling a 'premium' van with glorified candles as lights.

Cheers for the heads-up, can anyone recommend someone that can do the vcds thingy in the Bath area please?
I need to get my rear speaker upgrade front/Rear fade jobby sorted too.
Thanks for all your replies BTW. :-D

Most, new vehicles especially VAG have pants reversing lamps the Amarok was exactly the same.
The OEM camera and LED lamps with reverse lights both sides (these are not LED) are a bit better but it doesn't help.
I've got one of these Redtronic Night Angel Scene Light - EM655 on the rear and either side so I'm I'm laughing but they are not too subtle and far from most peoples taste.

When I get around to fitting a towbar I am hoping to take a feed from that and hang a light under it.

I find the camera with twin reversing lights is fine the camera works quite well in low light.

 

[DaveBos]

Agree with @Caravellet6 the camera works well in low light and in the dark tbh.

Had no problems with mine so far. Beeps all round and good vision from the camera night and day so far.

Well we've got LED rears so I can reverse everywhere really quickly...

Yeh the LEDs are awesome. My visibility is good

 

[DaveyB]

Sorry, I equally don't find an issue with this as I have both the LED tail lights plus the OEM camera.

 

[BiTurbo]

I think led bulbs in the number late lamps will definitely help.

 

[CaliStu]

I've got LED rears but H4 fronts so I might actually be better reversing everywhere
