Back up light issue
2013 FX4 Stock 5.0
This is my second F1 50 with a reverse camera. However I have just gotten to the point where I am very aggravated at the dim reverse lights on the truck. Unless I am in an area with streetlights I cannot see what's behind me on the My Ford touchscreen unless I ride the breaks.
The question I'm posting is without adding any external lights to the truck, is there any bulbs to replace the factory reverse bulbs with that would work better.

heres some reading for u.. point is, theres quite a few options. I personally went for the vleds.com license plate frame and was blown away by how much it improved.. we had like 50 forum members buy the same license plate frame all at once and I think everyone is happy

Thanks for the links.
I'm going to try the LEDs since they are the cheapest and easiest route to go. If that doesn't end up working on a formae I'm just going to have utility light mounted in my truck box. Thank you for the help and advice on this.

Here are the ones I ordered
http://www.ebay.com/itm/271153437399...84.m1497.l2649
They have absolutely no benefit as to more light, but they are white.
Just trying to save you some time and dollars. I will probably just grab some additional lights and mount them somewhere

I recently bought a 13 Lariat and I live in a dark area with no street lights. I can back up and see fine with the camera and existing backup lights. Not sure why you are having such a problem.
