I have a 98 Ram 1500, and the reverse lights are garbage so I can hardly see anything. Was wondering if anyone has replaced these bulbs with leds and if so what is the bulb # and what is a good choice?

 

Led bulds are junk, get yourself couple of auxliary lights, and wire them via relay to reverse light switch.

 

This. So much this.

Put some GOOD lights back there, so you can actually SEE what you are backing up into.

 

 

I have aftermarket housings with led bulbs, and a tailgate bar that lights up white when in reverse. Even with my tinted windows I can still see

 

is it significantly better? Like can u see more than 7 feet back?

 

 

Here's my reverse light setup. First is just one 21 watt light:



Here is two 27 watt led-lights. I might change those spot lights to a flood-type lights, would be much more useful. These also have 3-position toggle switch; on with parking lights - off - on with reverse:



Then on a tight spots, I have 18 watt lights at the front corners of the bed. Lights nicely front and side area of the rear tyres:





Btw, picture doesn't do justice, there is much more light on those rear lights than it shows on a pic.
