Get 15 kc offroad lights and stick them on your bumper and tailgate. It should light it up pretty good

Try Recon projector back up lights. And a back up camera. Then you'll be able to see everything behind you.

Get a back up camera, definetly a good use when you ever have to back up and hitch a trailer. There not much more in terms of price, less than 80 bucks ive seen them for.

Man I'm still stuck on either recon/KC Lighting or a backup Camera. I like the thought of the lighting because I don't have to have a video screen to view. But I don't want to go with the lighting if its not going to work. Want to make sure I can see there peripheral view also not just directly behind the truck.

The Recon lights project far and wide and you can adjust the bracket to make them shine where you want. redram05baby's DIY had good pics.
