2013 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Barolo Black

Got this LED bulb in my reverse light, definitely has more light output:

Very good. And nice for the bed as well.

I have one of the LUX lights that is SMD LED, and the same type that matches in the fog light, it fits the standard plinth.

I don’t like the other type which is these ones:

You won’t be able to beat the output of auxiliary additional reverse lights though.
I think there is a Labcraft additional upper reverse light, which can go where the washer jet was but I have a rear cam up there on mine and I’m happy with that.
But, an additional aux rear light can be really useful for truck beds or low line trailer for additional light for sure, or reversing. Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧

So do you rate the RDX 95mm lights then??

The Woolf ones I have are utterly useless, actually the reverse light has lost LEDs as well now which doesn’t help

Yes, they’ve been great, fit and forget never had the slightest issue with them.

Nor have I ever had an issue with the RDX adjustable indicator relay, indicators, Brake lights, sidelights and black Noldens. (With pilot light Headlights and sidelight loom).
LED wing sidelights I got from 4x4 Overlander.
Wipac SMD LED number plate light as well. (SMD chips are much more reliable, and out the light output on the number plate and not the floor).

All standard colour lenses on the rear, clear on the front.

They’ve been superb.

Everyone has different tastes, brand preferences but this is mine I like it.

I’ve never had an LED fail anywhere, but, the number plate light though largely waterproof a jet wash can fill it up with moisture so I had to replace that once.
But, without using very strong water jets like a jet washer overall it’s perfect and never had an issue with one or anything else. Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧
