Arrow Honda Civic reversing lights.

Hello is there anyway to increase the brightness of the reversing lights, when I back into the driveway at night I can hardly see where I'm going, thanks for assistance Ed.

You can try replacing the reverse lights with bright LEDs. I tried to do the same thing in my 02 EX with the below. Definitely made a difference but it's still tough to see. I think this is partly due to my 20% tinted windows though. That website also has an even brighter LED but I wasn't sure if it would fit.

Re: Honda Civic reversing lights.

I'm rocking LED lights (specifically these ones) from theretrofitsource.com in my 2018 civic (same reverse bulb size as the 7thgen uses). here's how bright they are.

Re: Honda Civic reversing lights.

The CREE (little projector type lens at the end) LEDs are really bright. Like headlights for reverse.
