Reversing light
no idea if anyone else finds this, but my reversing light has never been very bright. Is this usual and is there an easy way to make it brighter?

It’s not intended to light the road behind you, it’s just an indicator to oncoming traffic.

Yep, it's very poor and, no, I don't know how to make it brighter, either.

The better option is to code out the checks. Reverse isn't usually checked anyway.
