Silverstar Reverse Lights?

Silverstar Reverse Lights?
I'd like to be able to see a little bit better where I back up, you think replacing the reverse lights with silverstars would make a noticeable difference? I dont want to add a light back there, so you think the silverstars would be worth it? When i say not worth it, i dont mean because of the money. I mean because the the extra visibility. What you all think?

http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...placementGuide Look there....Any of there part numbers that end in 'ST' are the silverstar version....
For my 2003, they don't make a silverstar back-up light....And now that I look...they don't make one for the 2001's either....You sure you found something Evan???

you could do one of a couple things for more light back there.....
1) hookup some type of auxillary fog light system to be triggered by a relay from your backup lights
2) plug a set of those 50w bulbs in, you will probably be fine, because the bulb is only on for less than a minute.
3) get a 3157 bulb (dual fillament) instead of a 3156 (single fillament) and get a wiring socket for a 3157, then hookup both minor, and major leads coming off the socket into the backup light wiring. again, you shouldnt have any problems because they arent on that long.
im in the same boat, cuz not only do i have 5% tinted windows, i have a spare tire mount that blocks about 85% of my rear view.....i tried the foglight senario and never turned them on, they wernt triggered by my backup lights

Umm...not to be pissy back, but I didn't notice right off that the 3156 was a wedge style socket.
So tell me was this type of reply really necessary on your part? Simply pointing out that it was a wedge base would have been sufficient!
