scroll down to the bottom of the page. They are 50 watt halogens to replace the OEM reverse lights on 91-99 Explorers.

I think many members have tried these or similar. Many like them but also many others have melted their light housings and lenses

I love mine and have had no problem. THey are available at Pep Boys, and maybe AutoZone for less, though.

I think I paid about $14 for the pair.

Just get a cheep pair of aux lights and splice them into the backup lights.

Since the reverse lights are rarely on, I would hope they would not melt the lenses.

If I got aux lights, and mounted them below the bumper, I'm sure I would destroy them sooner or later.

I recently found some magnetic aux lights at Walmart. They come with a cig plug but you could easily wire them up to a relay and switch. I have one stuck on my rear roof as an aux backup light and it works great!

Hey that's a good idea. I'll chk it out next time I'm over there.

i got similar reverse lights to those, mine are 60 watt xenon lights made by the hyper industries, and they are bright enough to see through my limo tint. i picked them up off ebay for about $15 and it was worth it
