@ Pont,
Fully agree with you. Have the same problem with a mk2 V70 D5.
Cannot reverse in pitch black nights. My reverse break lights iluminate the rear far better than the reversing lights. Did you manage to have this problem fixed / upgraded?

cheers

Just fitted LED reversing lights to my XC60 and a great improvement.

Only thing I don't understand is now when I select reverse the DAB radio looses reception, but ok in FM.

Can anyone explain this.

Yes - did you buy cheap LED bulbs on e-bay? Not having a dig but this comes up a few times a year - people change their bulbs (front or rear) for LEDs or plug in a cheap charger or dash cam and it kills the DAB reception.

Non-compliant, low cost driver electronics... try a branded lamp like genuine Philips or Osram.
