Reversing Lights?

Hi,

Having reversed last night in the dark in my new RRS, it didn't seem apparent that there was any form of lighting on at the rear.

Should a faulty bulb like this be reported on the display?

Easy fix?

Thanks,
Simon

Are you sure there was nothing at all? At the best of time they're rubbish- and if you've got privacy glass even worse. There is a better LED upgrade available if you do a search.

To be fair your rear lights look very dark, so i'm sure this would have an impact on the light output. 2014 L405 SDV8 RR Autobiography Cool

Reverse bulbs are very poor, but there is a simple upgrade which myself and several others have done on here recently.
You can replace the bulbs with Led ones which are much brighter.
If you pm the site sponsor "Advance Factors" they will point you in the right direction. I think it was around £20 for two bulbs. Thumbs Up Current Volvo XC90 R Design T8

Those are the ones with no errors showing on the dash. People put various discriptions to attract a wider audience when advertising their products. Wink

Ady/David,

Is the ebay auction for 1 lamp or two and easy to fit presumably (it mentions an adaptor?).

Many thanks,
Simon
