- Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2013Style: Back-Up LightVerified PurchaseI am very impressed with this item for the price. I have a 2013 Ford F150 supercrew with the worst reverse lamps of any vehicle I have ever owned including Volkswagen beetles with 6 volt electrics. If you read the reviews there are various complaints regarding the wattage of the lamp or the quality of materials or etc. Today, this thing is less than $16 bucks Amazon Prime. What are people complaining about? Yea, Yea, it arrives broken go ahead and complain but that has nothing to do with the product itself.
I doubt there is an easier way to improve your backup lighting than with this item. Yes, you can spend more and have better lighting but you will put forth much more effort. I just leave mine plugged in. If someone steals it, I will buy another or spend a bunch more on something that works even better and spend hours installing instead of minutes.
Update: I've had this installed for over 2 months now. Some time ago, I was towing a trailer and needed to remove/install the light several times. This caused the back of the unit, held in by one set screw, to come loose. I put the unit back together but expect the unit has become weak so I will have to be more careful when removing. Note: tightening the set screw more only distorts the housing and could make it harder to remove/install. I sprayed some silicone on the light where it plugs into the vehicle and that helps ease removal. Next time I take it out, I will consider bedding the back of the light in epoxy for a permanent repair. I still believe this is a good value but agree the back of the housing is too weak. I still give it 5 stars for price, function and convenience.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2025This is for certain the best solution to needing a backup alarm. I work in mill sites and it is paramount that I have a good reliable backup alarm. And I absolutely hate having to hardwire an alarm to my truck. But be aware it does go in the trailer connect so if you are also hauling a trailer ya gotta make a choice. Lights or alarm.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2025Style: Back-Up LightVerified PurchaseIt fastens securely and is very bright.
The connection it makes With the Terminals is solid.
Once you insert it and the running lights of the truck are on there is a switch on it that lets you manually turn it on and off even though you are not in reverse, but aside from using that switch it does come out automatically in reverse. I would not drive with it turned on manually as it would be right in the eyes of any person behind you.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2014Style: Back-Up LightVerified PurchaseGreat to use when needed. Easy to plug in and use. The only bad thing is that the part that should lock against your 5 pic cap as it is designed to. Doesn't quit make it (I have a 2013 Silverado). Now I will be afraid to lose it when traveling. I would have given it a 4 or 5 if it would lock in.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2025Style: Back-Up LightVerified PurchaseRight out of the box does not work, tried on 3 vehicles, no light function at all, lights on, reverse, switch in both positions, no difference, doesn't work.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2014Style: Back-Up LightVerified PurchaseThis is a cheap economical add on which plugs into the trailer hitch socket instantly. There is no wiring or extra installation required. The amount of light it provides is about 70% of the low beam on your halogen headlamps or about 500 lumens. 500 lumens is about twice the light. That is about 3 times the power of a Six Cell D Maglight which is plenty to illuminate the rear. In comparison to the regular backup lights on the vehicle which are 3156 bulbs on mine it seems 50% brighter.
The reasons for getting this light are the following:
- Extra light to load/unload
- Emergency illumination of the rear if you are on the side of the road for better visibility to traffic
- Backup light creates more visibility for you to see and alert other drivers/pedestrians
- No hard installation. Plug and play.
You absolutely cannot go wrong for $15. Other lighting solutions were over $100 and required hard installation.
If you are looking for extreme backup lighting which is more powerful then the headlights of the vehicle then you will be paying a lot more and then comes the installation. There is a product on Amazon which includes two 55 watt halogen lights and they will be just as powerful as your headlights up front. However, that model is $80, its not a universal fit, there are extra relays needed and you need to install it by cutting wires, etc. Im not doing all that just to get a little extra light which I wont use.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2025Style: Back-Up LightVerified PurchaseGreat backup light and customer service. I would suggest instead of a halogen bulb it could be designed with a led equivalent.

DaJoReviewed in Canada on November 6, 20145.0 out of 5 stars Just what I was looking for.
Style: Back-Up LightVerified PurchaseWorks as advertised. Throws off about 20ft. of good light behind vehicle. Bought this for winter here in Canada as I have a long driveway to back in to. Has a toggle switch on light for either backup or aux lamp use. Already ordered another one for my wifes vehicle. Update to April 13/15. The light worked good all winter no problems. Today I tried to get it out of the socket and it was like it was welded in. Getting it out left the outer housing broke and left the electrical part in the socket. So it ended up in the garbage broken. If I ever buy this product again I would spread a little grease on the housing before installing it.
Marilyn CReviewed in Canada on June 13, 20224.0 out of 5 stars It works great!
Very handy, when backing up not only does it help me, but people who are preoccupied while walking through the parking lot, or wherever. Only wished it was a bit louder, but it works well.
