I doubt there is an easier way to improve your backup lighting than with this item. Yes, you can spend more and have better lighting but you will put forth much more effort. I just leave mine plugged in. If someone steals it, I will buy another or spend a bunch more on something that works even better and spend hours installing instead of minutes.
Update: I've had this installed for over 2 months now. Some time ago, I was towing a trailer and needed to remove/install the light several times. This caused the back of the unit, held in by one set screw, to come loose. I put the unit back together but expect the unit has become weak so I will have to be more careful when removing. Note: tightening the set screw more only distorts the housing and could make it harder to remove/install. I sprayed some silicone on the light where it plugs into the vehicle and that helps ease removal. Next time I take it out, I will consider bedding the back of the light in epoxy for a permanent repair. I still believe this is a good value but agree the back of the housing is too weak. I still give it 5 stars for price, function and convenience.
On Thanksgiving I switched the unit to "off" Instead of total silence it simply muffled the sound to internal to the unit only...a week later the unit no longer makes any sound even after reseating the unit and flipping the on/off switch. My best guess is the IP rating should read ZERO as the unit seems to have water inside now.
The description claims 97 decibels, it MIGHT be 79. I have excellent hearing and can barely hear it with the window down and radio off. Even standing directly behind the alarm it isn't very loud. I'll keep using it until I find one that actually makes that annoying cringing noise.
The reasons for getting this light are the following:
- Extra light to load/unload
- Emergency illumination of the rear if you are on the side of the road for better visibility to traffic
- Backup light creates more visibility for you to see and alert other drivers/pedestrians
- No hard installation. Plug and play.
You absolutely cannot go wrong for $15. Other lighting solutions were over $100 and required hard installation.
If you are looking for extreme backup lighting which is more powerful then the headlights of the vehicle then you will be paying a lot more and then comes the installation. There is a product on Amazon which includes two 55 watt halogen lights and they will be just as powerful as your headlights up front. However, that model is $80, its not a universal fit, there are extra relays needed and you need to install it by cutting wires, etc. Im not doing all that just to get a little extra light which I wont use.
My plan is to add a LED bulb, and frost the lens so that it spreads out more. This will work nice once upgraded.
I had quite a tough time getting it to go into the housing. It was pretty tight. I was afraid I was going to break it, but it went in, after a couple of tries.
...I have had this plugged in to my Jeep now for about 10 months straight, and it is still working great and is still in great shape. I'm glad I bought this.
