    Re: Reverse light LED or brighter bulb replacement

    Trying them for the same reason as you: need a better light output in reverse. They were about $20 a pair from aliexpress.

    I will have to check but I assume the polo uses a P21W for reverse light same as my golf and Octavia.

    Will likely be a few weeks to arrive but I'll let you know the outcome. I also got some in red to test as stop lamps.

    Do you have tinted glass? After often thinking that the one of the things that could be done much better was the reversing lights it suddenly dawned on me one day that maybe they'd seem brighter if I wasn't looking in my door mirrors through max legal tinted glass. And guess what? The difference is huge.

    That said, it would be good to have decent reversing light without having to roll the windows down.
