Just tested it for you - The indicators are very clearly visible.

Do you go around corners backward using your indicators a lot then?

I did wonder this myself but didn't like to ask!

LOL - I guess you don't live in a busy city... I live in central London where we have to parrallel park and you'd be amazed at the number of idiots who don't realise you're parking and drive right up the back of you... so it's essential people can see your indicators are on along with reverse to increase the chances of them knowing you're about to park!

Ok point for you, had not thought about that. I do parallel park myself but not much.
I would say that if you upgrade your reversing lights enough others migth not even want to come close to you anymore

Ha very true!

The main reason I want to upgrade the reverse lights is that I live in a small private road that isn't very well lit so would be good to have better rear visibility when reversing in. That said the low light detail from the reversing camera is very good.

Been reading and re-reading this thread, loads of great information, so thanks to all.

Can I ask a stupid quesion - How many LED interior bulbs do I order for the Dome, Footwells and rear courtesy (I'm assumung they are all the same)

Ditto Boot as well.

The 7 interior type LED bulbs are the 501 T10 w5w capless type.

The (1) Boot LED is a 37mm Festoon type

The (2) reversing LED bulbs are T.15-w16w.
