2005 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad-cab Daytona Edition. Was trying to get some ideas about what to install so i can see when i reverse. Bought 2 55w bulbs to go in the reverse lites and that did not do anything. Was looking at the white lite reverse kit that goes in the hitch for plug and play option but did not know if it was worth the expensive price? Was going to put fog lites on back but do not want it the truck to look ugly. ALso was told that water gets into them easily so they have to be replaced all the time due to them being plastic. Any ideas would be helpful. Their is a tint on the back window part of reason why i need a way to see when i back-up. New to site and appreciate all the help in advance. Thanks

 

ever think about getting one of those rear mounted cameras? not only would it help ya to see when backing up, but it'd make hooking up to a trailer a one man affair.....not sure about pricing on it tho

 

i have seen the backup cameras for like 99 at walmart but i dont think it will help if its still not lit up enough back there

 

I installed an infrared (night vision) back up camera for the same reason and it works good. I think the camera only cost me about 20 dollars but I already had my indash dvd monitor to use for the monitor so i did not need to buy one.

 

I put one of these on my truck mostly for the look but could not beleive all the light that comes off it when you put it in reverse it has white LED's for back up lights and they are bright. http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/P...?Ntt=light+bar

 

you cna buy a set of lights from like autozone or walmart that you can tie into your reverse lights that work well

 

if you look in the faqs, there is a write up on some recon backup lights. they look pretty sweet to me. but recons are probably also sorta pricey. you get what you pay for.

 

I have little 3" projecter driving lights that cam efrom walmart i'm gonna put on mine.I just haven't had the time to do it yet(kids and everything)It probably happen next week,but they should work really good.there small enough to put them under the rear bumper a little bit so you can't really see them

 

I have these: http://http://www.gorecon.com/produc...ights&p_cat=46
And the write up is here somewhere. I'm happy with the quality of the recon's. And as far as I know the 10% DF discount still works. Type in code: dodgeforum.
