LED Reversing lights for NX

[skins2380]

Paceman, not sure but I would say it would be a good chance they would. Size is 'T20" that your looking at. Just take out your l/h blinker assembly & have a look at the existing globe. Easy job takes less than 30 seconds. Assembly only held in by 2 Philips head screws. Here is a pic of the old globe & had the numbers 7440 etched in the globe which was really hard to see.

I have just upgraded my reverse lights in my NS to these. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2x-Car-T...72.m2749.l2649

Shogun, this isn't a dig at you.

I looked at the linked website, and it offends my OCD. Let me give you an insight into my life.

Click the link, look at the pics. Lots of LEDs! How many LEDs?

The description implies 50 SMD LEDs - cool!

The pics show 19 LEDs on the end plate, and a regular pattern of 6 on an indeterminate number of panels. Either way, an odd number of LEDs - not 50.

The number of panels can only be 6 or 7 - but 7 isn't a good number from engineers to deal with, so I'm guessing it's 6. So, 6 panels of 6 = 36, + 19 = 55 LEDs - not 50. But that's OK, it's only advertising and we all know advertising can't be believed. And then a closer look at one of the pics shows a "globe" which has only 4 LEDs per side panel - so isn't the product on offer.

Whatever arrives, I'm sure it will create light, and probably a different light from whatever incandescent bulb that was already in there. But for somebody who is held accountable for accuracy of detail, that web page doesn't entice me to send them money.

But that's just me...

I counted 22 on the end plate btw

What was I saying about attention to detail?

So if the version with 4 per side plate has 7 plates, that version has 50 LEDs.

I replaced my reverse globes with projector led lights. Much better, but an external light would be better again. I will see if I can find what I put in for you. Watch this space.

I've got both. Projector style led bulbs made a big difference. And then I added a 4" led light bar which I tapped into the trailer plug. Bright as now. Enough light for the reverse camera to work at night.
Cheers, Mike

How can you tell if a t20 is a projector or not?
Also, I do get the difference if we are talking headlights...but does it even matter for reversing light?
For example, I was thinking of getting this jw speakers https://www.autobarn.com.au/el29309

How do I know if they are a projector globe?

One function of reversing lights which ash not been addressed here is to tell others that you are in reverse gear, about to back out of a parking slot. The incandescent bulbs show that (not that well at times), but depending on the design of the LED bulbs, other drivers may not even see the reversing lights and hence may not be aware that something is about to come out into their path.

And that is why 99% of the time I reverse into a parking spot. Number of times I have come close to a reversing accident is crazy....especially when a van or dakened window suv is parked next to your blind side. I fitted 2 square led work lights for reversing. One on the roof rack and one on the bushskinz rear bumper protector.
