Does anyone know if there is a brighter bulb substitute for the back-up lights? I don't know why I never noticed it before but when I left my meeting this evening from a home that had no outdoor street lighting, I absolutely could not see the car parked behind my C after putting it in reverse. At first, I thought the back-up lights weren't working but my friend said they were on. I now realize they are not nearly as bright as my previous vehicle. When I arrived home, I parked the C in the garage, put down the door with the garage light turned off, and then put the car in reverse. The reflection of the back-up lights off the garage door was not very bright yet it is not an issue of dimness. Hmmm...

I would appreciate your suggestions.
Thanks!

The current bulbs (haven't checked what they are at this point) just don't put out much light let alone very bright light with a good spread. I couldn't believe how weak they were until I was in that situation last night. My former Avalon seemed to light up the whole garage.

BrilliantBlackHemi....let us know the results of your back-up lights when you receive them.

Thanks for the suggestion regarding the window tint coverage (shown in my signature) but it is the same % that I had on my Avalon which never appeared weak when put in reverse.
