We have just completed production for a reverse light for the JL to increase visibility backing up at night. A common complaint we hear is low visibility when backing up at night because the factory reverse lights (even with LED tail lights) do not produce enough light for the backup camera to work well in the dark.

The solution we made for the JL replaces with factory rear bumper reflectors with functional LED lights which increase the usable light by 20x when measured in Lux.

(see full demonstration click here)

The Gladiator has an even larger reflector which can be more easily accessed (faster installation) and would mount with the factory hardware and tap into the reverse lights (or connect to Aux switch).

We want to hear feedback from members here if you would prefer:

A) Use the total space for LED placement to maximize the number of LEDs and light output.

B) Share the space with a scaled-down reflector to maintain the reflector function.

Either way these would have MORE LEDs than the JL version which is very bright!

Let us know your thoughts!

I like B.

 

[GoVR46]

I like A

Personally I could go with either, cost would be the biggest factor to me.

I like B

I like B because it maintains the factory look to some extent while providing a brighter, but maybe not blinding, light for the backup camera.

If B was made and it came with a harness as well to T into the brake lights, that would be awesome and something I would be all over! Plug and play without splicing unless you chose to run a switch is the way to go.

B for me. Like retaining the reflective capabilities

 

[kevman65]

I like the looks of A better, but vote B to maintain the safety of the reflector.

I'd prefer B.

But this helped a lot...

Hello everyone :
My first post to the forum....
either way is fine is a matter of choice A or B , beer or wine....
just keep it simple stupid for installation by the way can you make it the lights bright yellow too.
Choose A, B, or C.....

I've wanted B specifically for a while now. Maintain reflectors for visibility when the vehicle is parked. I'd want them to activate when in Reverse and also be able to turn on with an Aux switch when someone in a Camry is driving down the highway with their highbeams on behind me

Upgrading the LED bulbs in the tail lights will certainly help but what is really great about the placement of the rear reflector location is that (especially with lifted Gladiators) these are positioned lower to allow the light to hit the ground to let the rear camera pick up curbs, rocks, etc. rather than beaming straight back.

I think B is better because the red reflector is a legal requirement in the US and I don't think there's any other reflective point on the rear of the truck.... could be an issue if a state inspection looks for it.

Though I didn't even think twice to remove mine and swap in the BD kit so I'd almost say leave it up to the buyer... maybe a 50/50 modular type kit that allows the buyer to pick?

 

[Albert55]

Option B would be my choice.
