Reversing Light for 150 Series

[jamies Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close jamies]

I have never liked the factory reversing light on both the 150's I have owned
Not wanting to run wiring to the roof or spare wheel carrier I opted to I fit a lamp to pick up the 2 passenger side towbar bolts

I used a 27 Watt 9 LED 60 Degree Flood inverted.

Power comes from the trailer harness wiring

Before everyone comments that it should be higher or central or have its own switch, blah blah blah please remember that I just wanted to keep it simple and it works

Do you find it has a wide enough beam? I have one an 18W "bar" floodlight one and it isn't wide enough to cover the same angle as the camera, giving me a huge bright spot in the middle and darkness on the sides.

I don't have anything to compare it to besides the factory reversing lights but here are some pics

Mine has a similar bright spot in the middle - I've looked everywhere but can't find a 90+ degree floodlight :-(

The phone camera makes the bright spot look worse than it is

I am sure there are better solutions if you want a light for erecting a tent but for the purpose I intended 'reversing' this works well
