Benny Member 1,869 Member For: 20y 8m 17d Gender: Male Location: Newcastle Posted 28/12/12 09:52 PM Share Posted 28/12/12 09:52 PM Just a little tip for you. If you go LED for reverse lights you'll need the ones with a resistor incorperated. Commonly referred to as CAN compatible. If you don't then they will emit a dull glow when the engine is running even when not in reverse. Reason I know is because I've replace mine with LEDs. I went for 9 SMD for reverse.Benny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
