Installed reverse lights...

[philosophicaljt]

I bought these PIAA 2100XT series lights on clearance. Part # 02190. They are a bright white FOG lights. But they were cheap (for PIAA's) and they mounted how I wanted, so I used them. Here is my install of my buckteeth/reverse lights:

Can a Mod please change the title to Installed reverse lights, or something similiar? Thanks!

Very cool JT, not my style personally but its your car and if you like it thats what counts. Good work other than the mounting issue.

Nice now lets see some pics of the VFR

Very nice work...greater visibility but I believe the greatest benefit being less chance of getting hit while going on reverse (hopefully).

not bad actually
especially if u dont want to convert the tails
but if i did that on my solara i think those would be gone within a couple days lol

Good idea....but not my personal taste to have fogs hanging from the rear of my car. It'd be an eyesore on a gen1. I've always wanted to do that mod, but put the lights on a movable bracket that moves into place when the car is put into reverse, and then retract when put into drive or park.

They do a great job! It took a little while to get them aimed properly, but I love them

Geez, am I the only member on here without access to a professional garage? I gotta pull my car out of my teenie weenie garage just to replace the dome light for crying out loud. Meanwhile most of you hotshots are revamping your whole suspension, installing new rotors and changing the transmission oil all in under 2 minutes. Just jealous and envious.

^ Thats because you spent all your money on strippers and fried chicken.

HAHAHAHHAHAHHAH "Reverse Horn" !!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! wow... but yeah dude... if those reverse lights float ur boat than thats awesome! but honestly did u really need em? i know the conversion to the new 2.5 taillamps leaves u with no reverse light but arent the new LED's on ur taillamp bright enough?

Prolly not cuz of the 5% tint on them windows.

philosophicaljt- Dont you think a back up camera would have been a lot cooler!?

they are brighter but they dont light up the street . and if you have tint then they dont help at all

[Toy1mzfe]

Im planning on doing something like that but more subtle and with bright leds.

Thats pretty neat tho.

Man, this is ugly to look at. Maybe in ohio its cool to rock something like that but here in cali you'll get laughed at all day.
Great idea though, but why not use slim white led fogs for something like this?
I know rewiring your turn signals is not the greatest lighting output on the floor but it gets the job done.
This reminds me of fogs on the rear of trucks. Why not just get the 2.5 reverse lights added to your bumper for a flush look?
