What are the hazards of replacing with excessively bright reverse lights?
1 Answers
Reverse lights that are too bright can cause unclear visibility and make reversing unsafe. Generally, reverse lights are 21W or 16W, with a maximum recommended bulb wattage of 24W. Reverse lights do not require the same high brightness as headlights, so bulbs exceeding 24W should not be selected. Below are specific details about reverse lights: 1. Function: Reverse lights are installed at the rear of the vehicle to illuminate the road behind when reversing and serve to alert vehicles and pedestrians behind. 2. Installation guidelines: Vehicles shorter than 6 meters are required to have at least one reverse light, with an optional additional one. Typically, the left side features a fog light, while the right side has the reverse light. This arrangement is because the driver's seat is on the left, allowing better visibility of vehicles ahead with the fog light on the left. The reverse light on the right facilitates easier nighttime reversing and parking on the right side of the road.
