Does anyone have a solution to the dim reverse lights on my 2025 2500HD AT4?

I ended up going the Baja Design as my taillights are a sealed unit, so i was unable to use their upgrade LED bulbs.

Any one of the Blades (there are a few now, and something new coming possibly 2026) by Putco will increase your reverse lighting, plus they add additional brake and turn signal lights and are available with plug and play harnesses. There are much cheaper (and also plug and play) options too. The Putco ones just look the balls. I got one made By Opt7 and it looks really sharp too. It's definitely cheaper quality (really thin wires) but was was way cheaper cost too, which was a deciding factor due to my budget at time of purchase. Can find the Opt7 one on Amazon.

I have the putco on the LD. They throw a ton of light out there.

I'm definitely upgrading to one when my "el cheapo" fails Supposedly they are coming out with a new style one for our trucks (soonish) like they currently have for the Raptors. It will go up around the multipro top tailgate somehow.
A YouTuber, Donslife, has a 2021 AT4. His neighbor has a raptor and he did the install for him. The thing is sweet

I went with VLEDS LPR license plate LED bar and harness. Well made, dramatic difference and super easy to install. Worth a consideration if $116 (on sale now, $145 normal) is in your budget.

I added the above to mine, huge difference and it's discreet when not in use.

My son has my truck today but I can post some pic tonight if interested.

Same here. I love mine. Even got my father in law one for his 2500.

Have the Putco bar light at bottom of the tailgate (needs to be installed exact to realize maximum benefit) and if thats not enough I can switch on my Baja Designs AEV bumper lights where I selected 'work area lights' while ordering and they are rediculously bright (manually switched on/off via my carplay screen).

 

[TravisJr]

Please tell me more about the switching via CarPlay. I am intrigued.

Ordinarily one would use a garmin or other similar switching device and they have Carplay capabilities; I would recommend any such device. Although I could easily have used them, I was reluctant to pull wires through the firewall for lights on front and rear bumpers; although a little complicatated, I built the interfaces from scratch using relays and wifi/bluetooth components. My wifi/bluetooth arrangement will not work for most since wifi devices I use, only work with 2.4Ghz wifi band. Fortunately I have a cloud based dashcam with an LTE interface, uses a sim card (from my phone provider) and also generates a wifi hotspot which I configured to 2.4Ghz wifi signal, it works almost anywhere; 'almost anywhere' means anywhere there's a phone or starlink signal available; it does not work in some mountain areas of BC I sometimes visit. In 'no sginal' areas, when Carplay does not work, I can use a bluetooth app to turn front and rear bumper lights on.

One of the first upgrades I did to my truck was the Morimoto license plate frame light. It definitely helps. I think today is the last day it is on sale 15% off.

Agreed with everyone that the VLED is the answer. It is super bright, definitely discreet, and works great. Also, very easy to install.

I have the same light. It’s fantastic. I really love when I unlock the truck at night in a dark parking lot it lights up the area around it. Quick, easy and very reasonable.

The included harness makes the wiring easy. Just take your time with the removal of the steps so you don’t break any of the tabs. Not a difficult job at all.

I finished installing them yesterday evening, just before it rained. After it got dark, I checked them and they are bright as HECK. Thank you, Travis, and everyone who helped me. Only one problem, now when I try to unlock my tailgate with either button on my Multi-gate tailgate, it will not unlock, or when I try to unlock my doors with the button on the door, it doesn't work. I can lock the truck once it's open with the button. But I can do it all with my key fob except for the Multi-gate step. Does anyone have help with this? A few weeks ago, I used to be able to set my temperature after I remote started the truck in the GMC app on my phone, but now I can't. It doesn't even show up in the app. I am wondering if it is a computer problem.
