2015 F3S backup light

[Dray]

Thinking that the more light the better, I am looking at replacing the backup bulb
with a red led and connecting it up to the Gearbrake module. Problem being that
I cannot determine what the real world part number of the original backup bulb is
so that I can do a cross reference to LED's.

Any help, experience or opinions here would be greatly appreciated!!

Why red? Might confuse rather than help IMO.

Really...

I would worry about the forward lighting. On the RS backing up turns on the 4 way but how much backing up do you do without looking. There are those that back up without looking and they need the backup beeper as well....:roflblack: but if they are bulbs they would be 1156 or 1157 but the best is to remove one and take it to the store with you...:thumbup:

Don't buy the cheap led bulbs I have no luck and I just went back to the OEM.

F3S backup light

If I can find a bright red replacement bulb I would use it as a brake light.
Hooked into the GearBrake module it would light up everytime I
slowed down or the scoot downshifted and blink rapidly until I hit the brake
and then go solid red until I got off the brake. Tried the auto parts route and
they did not have a glimmer of the type of bulb I have. The bulb is a long slender
style and is not a 1157 or 1156. I always look where I am backing and never think
of using the backup light.

It should be marked on the base of the bulb. Use gloves are something to protect it from the oil on your fingers when you remove/install....

Xenon Depot has the best bulbs IMO for all your needs.

I wanted to do the same thing. Currently have the flasher module on the white reverse light for attention. Was waiting for the red led bulb to come in. This is what I ordered. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0191HNL58/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Plugged it in and it messed with the computer enough that nothing worked, brake lights, turn signals, reverse light, nada. Please post if you come up with something that works.

FYI- just not a replacement white LED for the F3.
