Maxxima M42206 LED Backup/Courtesy Light - White Surface Mount Review

I am using this as a tail/brake light on an off road buggy. The light output in braking and driving mode is pleasant and bright with perfect lumen separation. can't complain at all! The low price makes it even better! If you look at the specs on the Maxxima website, you can see that this is one of the flashiest models they produce.

It took me a month to install them. It looked like quality gear, and came with screws and a cap for the lens. However, I bought 2 and 1 of them was bad from the packaging. Pretty crappy considering one of them cost just under $20. Since the installation took too long, I exceeded the return date, ie pulled on me.

Got it as a backup light on my ATV. It uses very little power, is very bright for its size, and is water and dust resistant. It comes with wood screws, which is odd, so I used 8-32 stainless steel screws to install it. Another thing that was a bit odd was that the wires were white and black. Black is +12V and white is ground, which I wasn't expecting.

I bought two of these sets and they work great in both of my apps. The main use was on my Wrangler JK as "toad" lights. Installed them in the bumper and they are very light. The other set was mounted behind the jeep on a receiver mounted motorcycle trunk. They are effective too. I've just ordered two more sets for a friend's JK Rubicon.

I used this as a 'replacement' for the rear courtesy light on a 2014 Subaru Forester station wagon. The OEM taillight was set low and very dim, almost useless unless you're actually dragging stuff backwards. I rewired the original and installed this light in the top right corner of the cab and managed to route the wires behind the panels. Now it is a bright room at night when loading and unloading, and the light looks good.

Unmatched fully sealed and impact resistant LEDs. I installed one on the back of my tractor and wired it so that the brake light (high) comes on when the headlights are on. That way I have some protection behind me when mowing on the side of the road. Consumes very little power despite bright performance. As long as you have room for the 1/2" diameter cylinder coming out the back of the light where the wires run, it's a very small light!
