The Lampa Bip-Lite II is an ideal safety upgrade for drivers who require extra awareness when reversing, particularly in tight parking spaces or busy areas.

FAQs
Is this bulb compatible with my car?
The Lampa Bip-Lite II uses a standard BA15S base and is designed for 12V electrical systems. Please check your vehicle owner's manual to confirm your reverse bulb type.
Does it require a separate switch or wiring?
No. The alarm is integrated into the bulb itself and activates automatically when the vehicle's reverse light circuit is powered.
How loud is the alarm?
The integrated acoustic warning system emits a 95 dB signal, which is designed to be clearly audible to pedestrians in the immediate vicinity.
Can I use this bulb in my turn signal housing?
No. This bulb is specifically engineered for reverse light circuits. Using it in other housings may cause safety issues or illegal lighting configurations.
Does it get hot during use?
Yes, as a halogen bulb, it produces heat during operation. Ensure your light housing has sufficient ventilation and avoid touching the bulb immediately after use.
Troubleshooting
The bulb lights up but the alarm does not sound.
Ensure the bulb is fully seated in the socket to establish a solid ground connection. If the issue persists, test the socket voltage to ensure it provides a stable 12V supply.
The bulb flickers or fails to turn on.
Check for oxidation on the bulb socket contacts. Clean the contacts with an electrical contact cleaner and ensure the bulb is securely locked into the BA15S bayonet mount.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the Bip-Lite II, ensure your vehicle is completely powered off and the reverse gear is disengaged. Access your vehicle's rear light assembly, remove the existing bulb, and insert the Bip-Lite II into the BA15S socket. No additional wiring is required, as the alarm is powered directly through the existing light circuit. To maintain performance, ensure the light housing is free of dirt or debris, as a clean lens is necessary to maximize the light output. Avoid touching the halogen glass with bare fingers during installation, as skin oils can cause premature bulb failure; use a clean cloth or glove during handling.
