Morimoto Backup Light Boost Bar – Universal License Plate Mount

Upgrade your reverse lighting with the Morimoto Backup Light Boost Bar — a high-output LED reverse light designed to mount directly to US/CA-spec license plate locations. Featuring 45 CREE J Series LEDs, advanced optics, and IP69K-rated durability, this compact bar delivers serious rear visibility without cutting into your bumper.

Maximum Reverse Visibility in a Compact License Plate Mount

Factory reverse lights are often underpowered and poorly aimed. The Morimoto Backup Light Boost Bar solves that problem with a tightly engineered 45-degree beam pattern designed to project useful light exactly where you need it when backing up.

Mounted behind the license plate, it adds serious output without altering your truck’s appearance.
