Has anyone switched out the 2019 reverse lights for LEDs?

Just wondering if anyone has done this, and the difficult of it. Really want to switch mine out, but i haven’t found any. Wondering if the Diode Dynamic LEDs for 16-18 will work? Any info would be appreciated. Thank you.

We have done testing on the 2019s, unfortunately GM made this mod a lot more difficult. You have to remove the rear bumper to install the resistor harness and it will need a different harness than what 2016-18 Camaros use. If you install bulbs without the harness the reverse lights will stay on when you unlock your doors. So far your the first person to ask about it. Removing the rear bumper isn't as difficult as it sounds actually. If there is enough interest we can make a harness to work for 2019 Camaros.

I'll be sure to keep you updated. Currently were working on a new web site, so looks like at least May/June before they are ready to sell.

Correct, 2019 uses the same bulb as 2016-18

What LED bulb would you recommend using for the reverse light?

Gen5diy should have a harness out soon that will allow led bulbs to work correctly. After that any 7440 size led bulb will work, we recommend the Diode Dynamics XP80 (brightest bulb available and we have had zero failures/problems).https://www.bigwormgraphix.com/2016-...rse-bulbs.html

I just don’t understand why they don’t go full led all the way around.
