 Avoid this product Apr 11, 2010
By Gotta Run
1. Does not fit standard bulb receptacle, nor the opening in the taillight assembly. Had to drill out my taillight to fit, and tape it into the bulb receptacle.
2. So low in decibels, could *barely* hear it outside the car, standing 1 foot away from backup light.
3. Vastly overpriced - suggest you consider the WOLO backup alarm available at Kragen, AutoZone, or online at Amazon. Wolo = $11.00, this product = $25+

 Not bad. Jan 03, 2011
By MARTIN1980
I agree with the previous review, as the item(s) don't fit standard bulb receptacles, nor the opening in the taillight assembly. But if you have a dremel & a hot glue gun, it's worth the trouble. I put 2 on my van and believe me, they're LOUD! Just one is enough to let people know your backing-up, plus there much brighter than the regular bulbs! But make no mistake, this item IS a "Handyman special".

Have used these since they were invented by DesignTech in Virginia, a few decades ago. Glad to see that the product survived Obamanomics, even tho' DesignTech didn't :) The fool who recommended spicing in an alarm either didn't RTFM (if the lugs are offset wrong, send it in to Hopkins for the other) or didn't know which end to plug in. With the new, flat lamp sockets, nothing could be easier. We've installed over a dozen for family & friends, and only needed to replace two - each after their cars were rear-ended.
It's a good product, and cheap at the price. You cannot go wrong, particularly if you have to maneuver around older pets or parents, or near young people... or maybe in one of the idiots recommending splicing a siren into the car's wiring lives in your neighborhood.

Exactly what I needed to warn people in parking lots and walking on the street of my condo as I pull out of my garage. Not so loud it tells people in the next county what's going on but loud enough that people know someone is backing up and look for the danger. I'm very hard of hearing in the high decibel range and heard it easily standing behind the truck.
It fit into my Ford Ranger without difficulity - pull out the old bulb and push in the alarm bulb. Light is easily as bright as the old bulb. Anyone who can change a bulb can install it and if you're not mechanically inclined ask your mechanic to switch it out the next time you're in for service. He should only charge you for 10 minutes more and if you add it to a large repair he'll probably throw the labor in for free.
The guy(s) who complain(s) about how loud it is probably were expecting a construction zone beeper and this it is not. Don't buy it for that purpose. But if you just want nearby pedestrians to know what you're doing under normal parking lot conditions this is perfect for the average motorist.
