    Anybody here replaced their stock reverse light bulb?
    I need something brighter than the stock, any suggestions?
    btw what is the spec of the stock bulb of suzuki swift 1.2L?
    what is the safe "upgrade" bulb i can use?

    my tint at the rear is too dark for me and i wanted a brighter bulb as a temporary fix as i will replace my tint in 4 months time pa

    THANKS!

    Nagpalit ako LED na 60 watts. Saglit lang naman kasi si umiilaw so puwede naman kahit mataas kesa sa stock wattage na usually 20+ watts. Single contact lang yan afaik. Bette check and bring sample kapag bibili ka na. Mas mura ata sellers online kesa sa mga auto shop but I;m not sure about that.

    ito yung specs nung bulb na nakuha ko sa casa
    pag lower wattage ba dito mas mahina ang ilaw e.g. 15 watts? or mas malakas na dahil led naman?

    LED kasi parang 3x ang liwanag vs reqular bulbs. So kung 15watts yung stock regular bulb, 5watts nang LED lang katapat. So kung 15watts LED ipapalit mo dapat mga 3x din liwanag as before or at least 2x.

    Standard size nyan, single or double contact lang dapat mo alamin tapos sinasabi naman nang sellers sa olx if para saan yan, reverse, park or signal light.

    ok palitan ng led lights ang reverse light basta clear lens... kapag fresnel or frosted ang lens mas ok pa din halogen.
    better yet install an aftermarket reverse light.. that way sure kang kita mo nasa likod mo.

    sakin, i opted to have a separate switch na pwede ko i-toggle pag need ko additional light while backing up, para hindi naman nakaka disturb pag hindi ko need maliwanag.

    Am using double contact bulbs for my reverse lights for one of our rides,- P21W (5W/21W) - yellowish.... - DIY.

    5W (not so bright- even if the lens is 'clear') for the position or park lights - added visibility on the road.

    And 21W for reverse.....

    di ako satisfied sa 21w osram stock bulb ko hehehe
    prefer ko kung pwede eh kasing lakas ng head light pero low wattage kay LED talaga bagsak ko. baka kasi masunog yung contacts pag masyado mataas (40 watts yata ang ordinary bulb na katumbas nung gusto ko)

    Been also thinking about this. Ang mahal pala. 1.5k for those generic bulbs?? Anyway, I have reverse cam which is very clear even in low light so hintay muna ako magbaba ng price ang LEDs. Not that I need brighter reverse lights but because I find it odd na filament bulb yung reverse and turn lights. Been looking at Philips X-Treme Ultinon LEDs (more or less $20 with 12Yr warranty). Hirap lang maghanap.


    Buy the Philips X-treme Ultinon LED car lamp 12763X2
