My first complaint.
Has anyone else noticed how useless the reversing lights are on the XC60.
My previous one I found to be very good, but this one must have glow worms inside the lense.

It's the same on the XC90; quite useless. The aperture is only about 2cm high which limits the amount of light and they use old-style filament bulbs. Literally every other lamp on the car is LED so why such rubbish reversing lights?

Same on V90.
It is extremely dark where I live and I have to trail the brake to light up behind me. Does anyone know if it can be upgraded? |

I have seen a number of BMWs with LED numberplate lights that are brighter than the reverse lights, maybe that's the way to go.

Yes and I keep seeing lightly pimped Vauxhalls and Fords with nasty super bright LED aftermarket numberplate lights which are most distracting on a dark motorway.......

I'd be interested in that as well.

I haven’t tried it yet but I assume it’s enough to illuminate a wall with the 360 camera view. Has anyone tried the rear fog light for a bit more range.

According to the new XC60 handbook, the reverse light bulbs are LED.

Rear fog light gives you ample brightness.
