Blazer International C8020 Back-Up/Utility Light for Trucks and SUVs

This is for certain the best solution to needing a backup alarm. I work in mill sites and it is paramount that I have a good reliable backup alarm. And I absolutely hate having to hardwire an alarm to my truck. But be aware it does go in the trailer connect so if you are also hauling a trailer ya gotta make a choice. Lights or alarm.

Love it!

The product puts out good lighting …but to leave it in is a problem. Two things I see. One, it fits the 7 way plug good but there’s no way to lock it in place. I think on a rough road, it would fall right out. Second thing is that leaving it in , it’s easy prey for thieves. If you do a lot of camping and pull a trailer, it is definitely something good to have on hand . I suggest store it in the glove box until u need it..

2007 Tundra. The light is what you would expect from an incandecent bulb. However using the reverse camera, it really shows how narrow the beam is. I STILL recommend this assembly for most applications that don't need the socket.My plan is to add a LED bulb, and frost the lens so that it spreads out more. This will work nice once upgraded.I had quite a tough time getting it to go into the housing. It was pretty tight. I was afraid I was going to break it, but it went in, after a couple of tries.

Works perfect when you have it plugged in and put the vehicle in reverse. Only thing I dislike and that is more about my truck is the fact it beeps as long as the reverse lights are on. So when you exit the vehicle it’s beeping and don’t stop until the lights go out.

Tried this in 2 separate vehicles, a 2019 f150 and a 2024 ram 450 both had opposite results, but bottom line it’s pretty much a way over priced NON led flashlight don’t wast your $Update this still docent work as advertised, and now 2 months in and it’s full of moisture, I wish I never bought this useless thing , it’s only purpose now is a cover for my Trailor plug

I am very impressed with this item for the price. I have a 2013 Ford F150 supercrew with the worst reverse lamps of any vehicle I have ever owned including Volkswagen beetles with 6 volt electrics. If you read the reviews there are various complaints regarding the wattage of the lamp or the quality of materials or etc. Today, this thing is less than $16 bucks Amazon Prime. What are people complaining about? Yea, Yea, it arrives broken go ahead and complain but that has nothing to do with the product itself.I doubt there is an easier way to improve your backup lighting than with this item. Yes, you can spend more and have better lighting but you will put forth much more effort. I just leave mine plugged in. If someone steals it, I will buy another or spend a bunch more on something that works even better and spend hours installing instead of minutes.Update: I've had this installed for over 2 months now. Some time ago, I was towing a trailer and needed to remove/install the light several times. This caused the back of the unit, held in by one set screw, to come loose. I put the unit back together but expect the unit has become weak so I will have to be more careful when removing. Note: tightening the set screw more only distorts the housing and could make it harder to remove/install. I sprayed some silicone on the light where it plugs into the vehicle and that helps ease removal. Next time I take it out, I will consider bedding the back of the light in epoxy for a permanent repair. I still believe this is a good value but agree the back of the housing is too weak. I still give it 5 stars for price, function and convenience.

This is a cheap economical add on which plugs into the trailer hitch socket instantly. There is no wiring or extra installation required. The amount of light it provides is about 70% of the low beam on your halogen headlamps or about 500 lumens. 500 lumens is about twice the light. That is about 3 times the power of a Six Cell D Maglight which is plenty to illuminate the rear. In comparison to the regular backup lights on the vehicle which are 3156 bulbs on mine it seems 50% brighter.The reasons for getting this light are the following:- Extra light to load/unload- Emergency illumination of the rear if you are on the side of the road for better visibility to traffic- Backup light creates more visibility for you to see and alert other drivers/pedestrians- No hard installation. Plug and play.You absolutely cannot go wrong for $15. Other lighting solutions were over $100 and required hard installation.If you are looking for extreme backup lighting which is more powerful then the headlights of the vehicle then you will be paying a lot more and then comes the installation. There is a product on Amazon which includes two 55 watt halogen lights and they will be just as powerful as your headlights up front. However, that model is $80, its not a universal fit, there are extra relays needed and you need to install it by cutting wires, etc. Im not doing all that just to get a little extra light which I wont use.
