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

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.

These Pod Holes lights are awesome. They light the houses up across the street.

I'm curious about the same thing. Is there an option to simply replace the current reverse bulb with one more powerful? (Before I go down path of adding/wiring in lights). I have 1500 and so far the backup/reverse lights are my only real complaint.

LED, non replaceable.

ETA...well you could cut open the light fixture and possibly un-solder and replace the led bulb with something that might be available that would be brighter.

Additional lights and wiring would be easier.

Gotcha, and appreciate the reply. Figured that would be too easy. Odd that stock is so inadequate in the first place. I do like some of the ideas mentioned here. Helpful thread.
 

I just installed the podholes. Amazing in reverse and with the cargo lights on. Much easier to install than I thought after just watching the videos. Some people say to remove the spare but there is actually no need at all to do that.
 

Have you checked the reverse-light bulbs themselves? Even new ones sometimes ship with weaker bulbs. Swapping to a brighter LED or higher-output halogen (if that’s allowed) can make a big difference. Also double-check the reverse-light housings and lenses for dust or moisture anything that clouds or blocks light output will dim what you actually see when backing up.
If those don’t help, it may also be worth checking the wiring and ground for the reverse-light circuit. A poor connection or weak ground under the rear bumper can reduce brightness without an obvious blown-bulb indicator.
