Reverse light bulb access??

[arich]

I got some new bulbs for the reverse lights. Took off the three nuts as instructed in manual but the lens won't come out. What am I doing wrong??

You have to slowly pry it, pulling directly to the rear of the truck. The first time I took mine off, it took slot of wiggling. I too thought I was doing done thing wrong.

I'm interested in how your new bulbs work out for you. I have been looking at them all over eBay, but there are so many choices, I always decide to hold off.

I want something extremely bright though! The OE bulbs are pathetic; I can hardly see behind me at night.

Thank you very much. Generic LED license plate and Philips reverse lights complete.

It's too damn cold to take more pics. Brighter & whiter. I'll let you know if they're an improvement.

I chose these and am happy. They are a lot brighter than stock, and they are not to difficult to wiggle into place even with their extended length - just slip the wiring harness back and forth a little.

Mine is a 2011 fwiw.
