STEDI Reverse Lights - LED Lighting Solutions

Why It’s Time to Upgrade Your Halogen Reverse Lights
Let’s face it: factory-fitted halogen reverse bulbs are designed for cost-efficiency, not performance. Vehicle manufacturing is all about assembling cars as cheaply as possible. While swapping a factory bulb for an LED reverse light upgrade might seem like an inexpensive tweak to you, manufacturers save millions of dollars by equipping hundreds of thousands of vehicles with cheap, low-quality halogens.
Unfortunately, that cost-cutting directly impacts your nighttime visibility.
The Performance Difference: Halogen vs. LED
Efficiency & Brightness: A typical halogen bulb produces a measly 18 Lumens per watt of input power. In contrast, our LED reverse globes output an astonishing 76 Lumens per watt. That represents a 4.2x increase in brightness while actually drawing less overall power from your battery.
Crisp Visibility: The majority of our reverse lighting solutions utilize a pure white 5700K color temperature. This delivers a crisp, modern look that vastly improves rearward visibility, making backing up safer in dark driveways or tight carparks.
Standard LED Reverse Light Upgrades
STEDI's standard range of direct-replacement LED upgrades covers the vast majority of vehicles on the Australian market. These globes offer a massive performance bump over standard factory halogens and instantly convert your dim yellow lights to a sharp 5700K pure white beam. Because these come in multiple fitment styles, be sure to double-check your vehicle's specific bulb compatibility before ordering.
The Premium 1000 Lumen LED Reverse Light Upgrade
If you want to push your factory light housings to the absolute limit, our 1000 Lumen Reverse Lights are the highest-performing LED reverse globes in our arsenal. STEDI has engineered these to prove exactly how far halogens fall short. Delivering a blinding 1000 Lumens, these bulbs will literally turn night into day behind your vehicle.
To ensure easy plug-and-play compatibility across a massive range of vehicles, our 1000 Lumen globes are available in three distinct fitments:
Auxiliary LED Reverse Lighting Solutions for 4x4s

Surface LED Rock Lights
Don't let the name fool you—our Surface Rock Lights double as one of our most adaptable reverse lights. Featuring an ultra-wide emitting angle and an array of mounting options, they are the most versatile LED lighting product in our entire range.

If you really want to pack a punch, pairing our Micro V2 13.9-Inch Light Bar with our dedicated Reverse Number Plate Bracket is the ultimate upgrade. This combination provides a sleek, low-profile look while delivering an incredibly powerful reverse-assist beam directly from the center of your vehicle.
