What is the Reverse Light Bulb all about?
\n\n
Reverse lights are an important safety feature on modern vehicles. They exist at the back of your car, and light up when you put your transmission in reverse. This alerts motorists and pedestrians around you that your car will be moving in reverse, and helps your surroundings be more aware of what your vehicle is going to do.

Keep in mind:
\n\n
If your reverse lights aren\u2019t working, you may not have a bad light bulb, but instead the issue could be a blown fuse.
\n\n
Our recommendation:
\n\n
There is no preemptive care for light bulbs, so it\u2019s important to check them from time to time to make sure they\u2019re still working. It\u2019s a good idea to check all of your vehicle\u2019s lights about once a month. Since your reverse light bulbs only light up when your car is in reverse, it can be difficult to check if they\u2019re working unless you have a helping hand. You can check the reverse light bulbs yourself by turning the ignition to \u201con\u201d (but not turning the engine on), and putting the car in reverse. You can then get out of the vehicle without it moving, and check to see if your lights are working.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Reverse Light Bulb?
\n\n
Reverse light bulbs don\u2019t light up when vehicle is in reverse.
\n\n
How important is this service?
\n\n
Reverse lights exist solely as a safety feature. When you put your vehicle in reverse, the reverse light switch turns on the reverse light bulbs. These bulbs let your surroundings, such as pedestrians and other drivers, know that you\u2019re about to drive in reverse. When your reverse light bulbs stop working, your surroundings won\u2019t have any visual cues that you\u2019re about to reverse. This not only makes your vehicle less safe, but is also illegal in many states.
