Subjective opinion: Are these bright for backup reverse light at night in a parking lot?

Not in my opinion. I use mine for my anchor light on my boat and I like that it is very dim when fishing at night. I would not buy them for reverse lights.

I'm not sure, but they would probably be ok if you did not have more than just light window tinting.

I've mine in a 94 4Runner and they work well. They're not the brightest, but they do project enough to see with. They're at least equally as bright as incandescent bulbs.

Using these as back up lights I wouldn't reccmended it. But it's perfect for your license plate light. I don't think it would be as bright as a backup light because it will reflect. Hope it helps

Personally I think they're a tad to bright for daily road use, great for tailgate backup lights tho.

yup as long as your reverse light works well you will see quite clearly approx. 20 feet behind

No, the reverse lights on your vehicle already are brighter. The LEDs on the bar are merely there for added safety and visibility.

They will be bright enough. Some people experience a humming sound with them, but I haven't had that problem. The biggest problem is that it's difficult, at times, to connect to the lights. This is particularly bothersome when you're trying to turn them off at night.

i would think so. they are pretty bright. my application is in doors though.

ABSOLUTELY. They are nearly bright enough to read by at night, not quite, but nearly. What's also great about these is the fiber optic catches any light, which means these things are extremely effective in very bring sunlight as well. I have them and love them.

yes i believe they are, I put one in my car dash and was able to dim it. I don't know if they are dimable in landscape type lighting situations.

I would not use these for backup lights. I would use Cree 2pcs 3156 7W LED Replacement Bulbs. The quality would better.

They are. I have mine outside and they do fine. Not very bright as the moment though, but I'm in Oregon where it gets dark so early. They were a bit brighter when I first got them, earlier in the year, and I expect them to do very well this summer.

I think they do well. They are pretty bright, not as much as some others, but the color is great and looks like HID. I am very happy with mine!

Yes they are very bright, they light up my full 25ft walk way. The motion sensor is adjustable for your needs. Take care.

yes they are bright enough to see in daylight for sure. I bought mine with the purpose of mounting to my Ducati Monster but the were more of a flood than a spot beam and too bright as headlights for night. I ended up using them as back-up lights mounted under my H3T truck.

These fog lights would make for decent reverse lights. They are bright enough and light up a pretty good area. I have been surprised how much life I've gotten out of them for the cost.

Probably so. They have a very sticky back. I stuck them under my kitchen cabinet. I must tell you though, that they are not a very bright light.

Not in my estimation. But that being said, there is no such thing as "too bright" in a garage like work place. I'm not 20 anymore. YMMV. I did have a 50% instantaneous failure rate (the fan quit working) on the two I ordered. In free standing, downward facing open fixtures I'd think that'd be the BEST application for these lamps. Anything enclosed, not so much. They appear to be a first attempt and as such, I think they'll get the kinks out.

I think the light these give off are nice. Not so yellow looking. For K do your own research. Good Luck
