Is there any alternative bulbs I can use to replace my reverse lights with? They are stock tail lights but the reverse light bulbs suck. Was wondering what everyone is doing to brighten them up without breaking the bank?

Have these and these mounted side by side in the reverse light. Also have these mounted on the bottom lip of the bumper. Light output is crazy...

Ya I had already planned on installing the reverse pods because I had a feeling it didn't really matter what bulb was thrown in there.

But all together is more than enough light for me.

Definitely, upgrading to LED is worth it, just don't waste any more time/money with different bulbs in those housings.
