Built in a die-cast aluminum housing with a satin-black powder coat, the unit pairs optical design and high-output CREE LEDs to deliver strong usable lumen output through a purpose-built lens. It was created to complement Morimoto XB LED tail lights or to function as a stand-alone upgrade using the included wiring and tap kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Morimoto Backup Light Boost Bar improve visibility when reversing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bar uses carefully profiled optics and a dense array of high-efficiency LEDs to translate raw output into usable light across the road surface and immediate surroundings.
