Xenon in the back up lights!

I guess, I'm the first one with the xenon in the back up lights

Lamps are H3 format (the shortest one), 4200K with two Mitsumi ballasts.







Now, it's AMAZINGLY bright when backing at night

They are actually brighter than stock bulbs even at first 10 seconds, because they are 35W vs stock 16W. And after 30 seconds they are EXTREMELY bright

WOW! those should be illegal cause you can blind anyone with those!
On the other hand it could be a nice little surprise if you could wire it separately to a switch and turn it on if someone tailgates or annoys you (But seriously though dont do that)

In my opinion, it's over kill. I don't mind having brighter reverse lights- but I don't know about that.
