Reversing Lights Tiguan any ideas?

[clip]

Clip, got pictures of those 2 light upgrades. I have a pretty solid tint to match the paint and could do with a little extra light when reversing. Cheers

Just checked James, and the number plate light LED's make no difference to rear vision sorry. I then got out and had a look, and the reversing lights have a focussed beam that spreads out about 1.5m behind the car. But I use the rvc (an upgraded Alpine camera that works incredibly well in the dark) and I can't remember actually using the rear view mirror for reversing - other than tonight, which seemed fine though. Have you checked to make sure you haven't got a blown "long-life" bulb?

I have found this site in my search for LED lights for the TIGUAN and it looks quite good. It actually lists the lights for the Tiguan and gives LED options Super Bright LEDs ? LED Lights, Bulbs, and Accessories

FWIW, highly recommend these as potentially lighting up the rear:

These are super bright and without any blue tinge. So are probably 5000K or closest to pure white.

Here's one I bought off them, but for the boot (i.e. whole complete unit swapover):

Nothing comes close to these! And trust me ... I've tried a few already.


But just need to double check with them whether their current listing will fit a Tiguan (as not listed).
They might just be out of stock at the moment.

I would fit something like these, since the small LED designed for the interior will most likely not sufficiently illuminate the space behind the car.

Thanks Transporter I may try to fit some of these under the bumper and connect to reversing light. Aussietig are you suggesting I open the boot to see when I reverse?

Okay, I want to know about lights at the other end, i.e. spotlights on my ECB nudge bar. I think I will start a thread...

No mate ... just trying to show you the brightness of this mob's LEDs.

It would be their licence plate version that you'd go for.

Specifically, look how bright they light up the ground beneath:

Well that's a definite improvement. I'll get some of those! Thanks.

Will those fit out Tigs? They're not listed on their application list. Just wanna make sure.

Gee, they're bright! I have to have a look at them. Wouldn't mind these as an interior lights too.
