I've seen an uptick of people on this forum and others talk about the lack of visibility with the reverse lights. My question, is how many of you have rear fog lights, my MY20 P300 came with them despite me not having fog lights in the front. I have used them and they seem to do a great job illuminating the way in reverse.

 

I added the PowerfulUk reverse lights and am VERY happy now with the level of illumination. It's not the easiest mod I've done (not plug & play), but definitely doable for most folks. His video wasn't too clear at one point. I thought he pulled the back piece of trim and saved for later. You need to apply both pieces and mount to the back piece (if you have no idea what I'm writing about, if you want to do this and watch the video - it should make sense).

Reverse Light Upgrade Kit

Another tip on this: I didn't screw it into the backplate as I didn't want to nuke the trim in case it didn't work for me. I just used the good 'ole 3M trim tape (same as JLR uses). I'll be Overlanding next week and if it doesn't hold up, I'll update this Post.

 

I don’t see a difference with the rear fog lights on or off. The rear fog light indicator is on, but no change to the rear lighting.
What am I missing? (The front fog lights work fine).

 

I bought the Lamin-X and cut a template to fit the existing fog light. No removing parts, just covered the light. So far, looks great and no way to tell it's not original.

 

Switching on the rear fog light does help, but does very little for the rear camera view. The rear fog will help for your mirrors.

True fix is adding the aftermarket reverse lights.

 

l found the standard reverse lights to be okay. Sure, they could be better. But they are bright enough to see where l am reversing.

 

It's less about the lights and more about the optics of the camera. The night vision on the reverse camera is right up there with early 2000's Mercedes. (terrible).
That camera should have a much higher quality sensor for capturing the light.
Adding lighting just makes up for the poor quality sensor.

 

So it needs someone to start selling a better camera then as an aftermarket product
