Sorcerer, this is by far the most helpful post on here, a lot of people who don’t actually have RX400s & who have no idea how terrible the reversing lights are have posted a lot of uninformed observations.
The purpose of a reversing light is to illuminate the road behind you and (not only) to warn other road users, any suggestion that you do not use them to see what is going on around and behind you is questionable - we should all expect to have the very best view available of what is behind or anywhere around us whether we are driving forward or reversing - it’s a real pain if we reverse into an object that we were unable to see and damage our cars, it’s another thing altogether if that object is a person.
I have ordered the bulbs and downloaded the instructions, thanks for going to the trouble of doing this.
