I live in a cul de sac with no street lighting and reversing into my drive is a real pain at night. The reverse light on the ibiza is pathetic, is there any way to improve this?

I used a Cree led to great effect in my mk5
Before:

After:

I'd recommend them to everyone.

Is that CREE ebay link the correct fitment for MK4s then? I hate my reverse light. I tried LEDs, they looked good but weren't actually good for the purpose they were made for... so I'm back with a standard one at the moment

Not telling
Wouldn't the heat of the H7 bulb melt the rear light reflector? I guess not as you guys haven't said so? but if left on for a while it might do? I'm just thinking out loud...

just bend them out so they dont fit in the hole then keep adjusting so there a tight fit its easy.

Ok I can't actually remember without looking, but doesn't something need to touch the metal contacts at the bottom, right in the hole?
