Talking Reverse Lights
I am going to replace my reverse lights for a much brighter type.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what light to replace the reverse lights with?

LOT'S of threads about that - try searching for backup lights etc...
I feel your pain...
I did the same thing with both 55W bulbs and auxilary lamps on the bumpers...

The problem that you may run into is that the circuit is small and may not handle much. I put in larger bulbs and they were not much brighter because the circuit could not handle it. I finally added lights in the bumper with a relay.

Thank you-about $5.00 for that setup (not counting the lights.)

Pep Boys. Just the lights, the bumper trim, and the drill bit.
