Default Reverse lights, LEDs?

Ok so my reverse lights do turn on but when I'm backing up they are not bright enough for me to do anything. Can somebody point me in the right direction for led or other bright reverse lights? Thanks

+1 for Krautoparts

The 1156 7w CREE *HIGH OUTPUT* are extremely bright. Everyone who has seen them on my car has been either blinded, amazed, or both. A handful of other forum members here will agree.

Krauto Cree bulbs FTMFW. Stupid bright - my car looks like it has mini-HIDs for reverse lamps. I have turned mine on in my driveway and made shadow puppets on the neighbor's fence across the street

I just wrote a long *** reply and it got deleted

Anyway, here's some pics of my cree reverse lights from emil. They're the same design as the Ziza bulbs posted above, just less expensive.

Before shot with regular LEDs:
