Reverse ligths

I know there are some other discussion, but I lost my reverse backup lights today after installing 921 led bulbs, someone knows where the reverse fuse is,thanks

 

Check under the drivers dash. Might be labeled back LP.

 

Aren’t leds polarized?

 

Nothing thanks

 

I put the oem back,nothing

 

Leds have to be installed the correct orientation (need to forward bias the emitter - in jargon). But installing the leds backwards houls not blow the fuse .... they just will not light. So ... the fuse will blow when the amperage exceeds the fuse. Leds my pull more more amps than the fuse allows. Check the fuse. Under dash fuse 8 ...

I thought LEDs are more power efficient that incandescents?

 

Yes .... but you can make the LED lights Much brighter (more amp draw) or dimmer (less amps). The aftermarket leds also could be MUCH brighter and pulling more amps. There may be other items on the fuse as well pulling amps.

 

What is a "reverse" backup light?

 

White light(s) on rear of vehicle that only is active when the vehicle is in reverse and ign on. To help see when backing up at night.
