XC60 Reversing Lights

dcjs01 · Jan 7th, 2024, 11:42

Has anyone fitted auxiliary reversing lights to an XC60. I will start by saying that I appreciate the legal requirement isn’t for reversing lights to illuminate the way. But those on my 2018 RDesign XC60 don’t really provide any useful light at all. And combined with what seems to be a pretty insensitive reversing camera and tinting rear mirrors. I would really appreciate some extra light while reversing. Compared to my last few cars the XC60 is lacking in this area,
Obviously the digital control to existing light units is an issue. But has anyone done this?

Search the forum, someone has fitted additional LEDs to the back successfully. I must admit I don't understand the problem, I've never had any trouble seeing behind me with the existing lights.

Yes it was a guy in Finland I believe. He fitted an LED strip down across the underside of the bumper.

Not the thread I was remembering, but here is one thread which might be of interest.
