Anyone fitted an LED reverse light? This one was spoken about on another forum, not sure whether to buy it...

Why not get a round replacement one? Or get some work lights if you want more light and wire to come on with reverse ?

I've had LED reverse lights for years (along with the rest of the lights), no problems and super bright. Personally I prefer the look of the NAS type (Le Perei) rather than an aftermarket, still not standard but I like them.

I have an LED work lamp and the clean white light is very good and I use that for reversing but have to switch it on...it would be a fair bit brighter than what you have, the white light does that.

Amazon looks reasonable... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Work-Light-road-Auto-Flood/dp/B009725OZ8/ref=pd_sim_sbs_kh_2
Check out the feedback on them and look for free delivery... the good thing with them is you can fit it and if you dont like it the return is hassle free.

You may well need to install resistors as the draw on LEDs is far less than regulae bulbs.

Mine started turning every light in the car on!
