2026 Outback Reverse Light Upgrade

[Cumberlandjames]

Hello. Had my 26 for 5 months now and really enjoying it. Just completed a 4000 KM trip and no complaints. One thing I find id the reverse lights are not adequate. I had upgraded my Forester to LEDs and found them far superior to stock. I live in the country and have a long dark lade so appreciate good visibility. I see there are no panels for access so looks like entire door protector panel has to be removed. Anyone pulled theirs off and changed the lights?

Thanks, good video but the back up lights aren't part of the tail light assy. Will probably end up doing the turn signals but want to do the backup first

Oops! I didn't read your original post correctly! I look forward to hearing how it goes! I'll probably upgrade mine as well.

Thanks, I'll be sure to make a post once I get it done. Have to investigate the light assy. I found the light in the tailgate is actually a circuit board with LEDs attached so can't just stick new bulbs in it. Hopefully these aren't the same.
