Reversing light bulbs
As most will know the bulbs in the bongo reversing lights are pathetic and give as much light as a candle, I want to upgrade, at the mo I have two beeping bulbs in, which are no better, I am going to fit a reversing alarm soon (already bought) as soon as the weather permits, has anyone upgraded the bulbs for more light and if so, which ones to use safely please, I might even rig up a spotlamp as an extra reversing light, failing all else.

I've mounted an extra light in the rear bumper along with a fog light,shows up through the tailgate mirror just enough.

We've done "Reversing middle seats" to death, now we've got "Reversing light bulbs"

Re: Reversing light bulbs
Would greatly appreciate an idiot's guide/walkthrough on how to install this. I'm a total plonker at mechanics/electrics, but would love to have a go at this
