It does not need another set of reverse lights. Try visiting an eye doctor before you do something stupid to that car.

I HATE seeing nice ass cars that someone on the forum owned, and someone else on here buying them and totally destroying it.

Think more reverse lights is a great idea. Post some pics once you have decided.

dude he is trying to hide them so you wont even see them? ALLL he is trying to do is make it where he can see better when backing up at night, and If the lights are hidden how is it ruining the car?

yea i personally got used to the fact that my tails didnt seem as bright with my tint on. now i got to get used to it even more with tinted tails, + i got a reverse bulb out so as of now backing up at night is like a lottery of getting lucky not to hit anything.

I say just get used to it

I say do the small round "projector" style fog lights mounted in the location you suggested. If you can see the clear part of the light when behind the car, do a quick light coat of Nite Shade over them... not a lot, just enough to help it blend in!

IF the man wants to put fogs "HIDDEN" behind his grills where you cant even see it so he can actually see to backup at night then thats his choice. It is doing nothing to the cars looks at all and is only to help visibility at night, damn. Some of you people are unbelievable. It is his car, he can do what he wants.

im not sayin he shouldnt do it, but almost everyone on here has some sort of tint & you dont see everyone putting hidden reverse lights on their cars.. it just takes some getting used to

Believe me, there's only one type of LED bulb that's brighter than stock for a reverse light and it's not fitting into a 921/T15 base.

We've done the LED strip thing on an Integra before, we just lined the LED's underneath the bumper cover so you wouldn't see them during the day. Then wired them into the reverse lights. Wasn't difficult, if anything, use your own adhesive (don't rely on what comes on the back of the LED strip). If anything... get the biggest chipped LED strips you can get. 5050-SMD, 3-diode will be as bright as you're going to get in a thin flexible strip.

It's either that, or just cram an LED underbody light bar underneath and do that. Sounds stupid but we've seen a few rock crawler guys do the same thing so they can work on their buggies in the dark.

while I do agree with you on that note.. but I dont see any harm or cosmetic damage in putting reverse L.E.D's BEHINDE the valence, you wouldn't see them when they're off anyways, but it would be cool when you go into revers and BAM there they are.

In all honesty, putting lights behind a plastic mesh grille that is pretty thick kinda defeats the purpose of making things brighter when you back up. Most of the light will likely be blocked by the grille itself and not help light anything up.
