If you want to change the color of the bulbs, Go to autozone or some auto store. they sell sleeves that slip over the bulbs to change the color.

i don't think most people have, because how would other traffic know that you are in reverse?

yea i ment like wiring them up to my brake lights... not just changin the color

why would you want to do that?

backup lights are there for a reason. when youre parked in the mall and back up, they tell drivers coming that "hey, this guy is backing out, i should slow down to avoid creaming his rear end, and get a free parking spot".

its been proven that people notice reverse lights more than any other action while driving. if youre at a stoplight, dazing out, and they guy in front of you puts it in park(for whatever reason), and the reverse lights flash for that millisecond the lever slides over R to get to P, you WILL wake your ass up and say "holy shit dont back up, please for the love of god dont back your F150 into me".

Would be pretty nice if you wired them into your brake lights, then got the 97-99 lights for the actual reverse lights.



EDIT: or get some autozone fog lights for reverse lights

I think it would be possible to use them as both reverse lights and brake lights. That's kinda the way I have my front sidemarkers wired. They're on when my headlights are on and they alternate with the blinker when I use it.
