    Yes, I would have opted for the flood/work pattern, as I think the wide pattern is not dispersed enough to use as a proper backup light.

    I sold mine and cut up my bumper for a pair of SSC2s instead though.

    I have the amber wide cornering it throws plenty of light but I think I would have been happier with the Work/Scene pattern.

    I have switchbacks in the reverse light spot (MESO total tail stage 1)... I'm not sure what their color temp is.

    Without knowing (or looking it up) I would bet they're 6000k. The matchup will be close enough.

    Hit up @daveeasa He sales a small device that will turn off your license plate lights when the truck is out in reverse. It makes a huge difference with wash-out.

    Link for those interested...
    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/license-plate-light-disable-while-in-reverse-dir.707546/

    It's on my list of things to get. I just bought text books and paid tuition fees for my 11th grader's dual credit college classes. And this reverse light. And some Meso dual color maps. All yesterday. Soon though.

    Edit: Purchased the DIR :anonymous:

    Finally installed it today. It's bright during the day... I can't wait until it gets dark. The color temp seems like a good match with the Meso stage 1 tails. The DIR harness is out for delivery today also.

    These should really come in handy next weekend when in crewing for a 50 mile trail run that starts before sunrise and goes into the evening. Lots of dark forest service roads to drive on so I can find the trail intersections where I need to meet my runners.

    I also make a PNP harness so that you don't have to mess with switches if you don't want to.
