Backup Lights

[Koppster]

We have no street lights and when I back out of the drive early in the morning, I am disappointed in the backup light illumination on my screen.

My 21 LTZ had much brighter backup lights to my memory.

Any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong or are there better bulbs for the backup lights?

Thanks,
Rick

I replaced mine with bright LED bulbs off Amazon. About 5 minutes a light and very pleased with the results.

Just replace the bulbs like others said. These are what I have. They work great and hurt your eyes if you look at them lol. Lots of choices out there though.

Lasfit bulbs from Amazon, mentioned in the 3rd post. You won't be disappointed. Only brand bulbs I use now.

I added those same bulbs to my truck... Alla has been a good source of quality lights for a while. I recommend these, just as the others have.

And, while you're at it - replace the crappy incandescent yellow bulbs on the license plate lights.

You could try this:
Boost Auto Backup Mod

I have this also along with the led bulbs in my taillights. That mod is awesome simply because the bed lights come on when you unlock the truck. If you have a bed cover it's a must have IMO.

I went to put the Lasfit bulbs in the ZR2, the housings didn't want to come off very easily?
What am I doing wrong? Afraid to bust some 'tabs' or whatnot.
Yes I removed the 2 screws!

You have to pull hard towards the back and nothing more

I also had a hard time pulling the housing off. Try to wiggle the housing back and forth. I remember being aggressive with both of my housings. Good luck, you'll get it!

I had the manual out and it shows kinda back and toward the outside of the bed.
Thats why I stopped, seemed like a good way to bust 'em!
Thanks for the replies!
