Hi
Barrington...
If you want a high wattage reversing lamp / beeper, this one will do nicely:

Your towbar shouldn't have a reversing beeper, just an "indicating while going in either direction with the trailer board connected" beeper.

Yes sorry thats what i ment :( inside the bumper the towbar guy fitted a round black beeper that sounds when the electrics are hooked up from the trailer that sounds when indicating, separate than the new found beeper on the reversing lights :?
