My '03 9-5 Aero wagon has decent backup lights and I'm really sick of the one (and only) backup light on my '07 9-5 Aero sedan. Flat out - it's unsafe to back this vehicle up at night. I can only imagine the happiness of the GM bean counter who saved one dollar by specifying only one backup light is necessary.
Any way, my question is has anyone added a second light, or done anything to install a backup light system that actually sheds light onto the ground?
My factory warranty is up soon and I'm willing to start making modifications to the car, including this and including adding inboard halogens next to my Xenons, in the empty light sockets.
